"I nearly dropped dead when I got the €1000 electricity bill."

As our electricity bills double and our grocery bills increase by a third, how are people coping?Henry McKean has been out meeting middle classes, some of whom are struggling to put food on the table for the first time. It's not just the rough sleepers or the long term homeless living in hotels. But full time workers who are struggling and retired civil servants who cant get by. Lots of fear and worry. Henry met Ellen who is turning 80 in November, on the Navan Road, she received an electricity bill of nearly 1000 euro.
