Campaigners stage sit-in at Cork's Bord Gáis offices to protest soaring energy prices

Members of Cork Cost of Living Campaign staged a sit in in Bord Gáis offices in Cork on Wednesday morning, to protest the 'profiteering' of energy companies in the midst of a spiralling cost of living crisis.

Cost of living campaigners occupied Bórd Gais Energy offices in Cork to criticise the company’s “profiteering” and to demand an end to soaring energy prices.

A group of seven members of the Cork Cost of Living Coalition entered the company's offices at the Cork Airport business park just after 10am on Wednesday as part of a ramping up of their campaign to highlight the ongoing cost of living crisis.
