Yes... we have no inflation; Ireland early this year. They "upgrade" electricity! Irish Elec Board Upgrades Prices For Small Cos, Households By 17.5% Fri, Jul 11 2008, 16:21 GMT djnewswires.com Irish Elec Board Upgrades Prices For Small Cos, Households By 17.5% DUBLIN -(Dow Jones)- Ireland's Electricity Supply Board will raise prices by 17.5% from Aug. 1 for small businesses and households, the Commission for Energy Regulation said Friday. The draft increase reflects the volatile energy market and high global oil prices. A decision will be be made November in on whether to introduce a further increase in January, the regulator said in a statement. The Small Firms Association criticized the price hike and the fact that it was only given three weeks' notice: "Competitiveness is critical to the survival of all Irish companies and energy price is a key input indicator," it said. -By Quentin Fottrell, Dow Jones Newswires; +353 1 676 2189; quentin.fottrell@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires July 11, 2008 12:21 ET (16:21 GMT) Copyright 2008 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
