Something to protest about - Savage 30% PSO levy hike

WHERE have all the protesters gone?

The smug, self-satisfied ones who raise placards against anything from water charges to veterinary bills. The ones who launched well-paid political careers on the streets of Dublin and elsewhere.

The ones who are now remarkably silent at the decision by the Commission for Energy Regulation to hike the PSO levy by a savage 30%, putting up the average cost of electricity to domestic consumers to more than €1,000 a year.
