'Do I Have Heat or Food?'- Louth Mother Still Paying Off Last Winter's Heating Bills - 10/10/2025

Residents of a Drogheda housing development are facing crippling electricity bills—some reaching between €800 - €900 and as high as €1,100 this winter, due to what they describe as a “flawed and inefficient smart electrical heating system in their duplex apartments.”Louth councillor Declan Power highlighted the exorbitant bills faced by people living in Tullybrook Court, which is managed by Clúid Housing.Speaking at the October meeting of Drogheda Borough District, Cllr. Power said that even in the summer months, when usage is typically much lower, people were facing bills as high as €400.Declan Power joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this. We also spoke to mum of 3, Ciara Byrne, who lives in Tullybrook and she told us about just how bad things are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
