Overdue Frank comments on the ESB price cut

His comment are no more than an  ego trip equating to, I like the sound of my own voice. Overdue Frank says I like the reduction however, on the other hand, the piece seems to allude that Mr. Overdue actually played a part in the reduction. Overdue played no part what so ever, this is another a desperate attempt to deflect the other problems engulfing Mr. Overdue. Frank boy we all know you are overdue with the bank please pay the bill because if you do not it becomes another bit of ineptitude we the citizens will have to pay for

ESB price cut “overdue” – Feighan

News that electricity prices are to drop by 5.4 percent in November was welcomed this week by Deputy Frank Feighan, who said that the price cut was “justified and overdue”.

“While this announcement is welcome, it is such a pity that it took so long for the lower market prices that the ESB has been paying to be passed on to the hard-pressed consumer.

“For over a year I, and my Fine Gael colleagues, have been calling for electricity prices to be slashed and I believe that in future, action should be taken by the Regulator to ensure that price reductions, when possible, are passed onto the consumer immediately instead of waiting for up to a year.

“Nevertheless, this reduction is well and truly justified given that everybody knew that energy prices for gas and electricity could come down, especially since the Chairman of the ESB voiced this opinion 12 months ago. Price increases granted last year were indefensible as gas prices had fallen on international markets and there was a consequent knock-on benefits for electricity markets and it is only right and proper, if belated, that these increases have been reversed.
