Retail NI Comment On Firmus Gas Price Hike

Commenting on the decision of Firmus Energy to increase Gas prices by 56% in the Ten Towns network, Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said:

“This increase is one of the biggest ever and will put huge pressure on already struggling independent retailers and small business owners in the Ten Towns network.”

“At present business owners are getting nothing from Government to help them mitigate the cost of these eye watering increases. We repeat our call for an urgent package of support, which includes rates relief and grant support to ensure jobs and businesses are protected.”
