Privatisation — when will they ever learn?

THE ESB, after its latest price rise, warned of further increases on a bimonthly basis.

While fuel costs have increased, this in no way justifies the massive price hikes.

It seems the ESB is being fattened up for privatisation just like eircom — and what a disaster that turned out to be. Before privatisation, due to investment by taxpayers, we had the best telecoms network in Europe.
