A protest has been planned in Belfast in response to the rising cost of living.
The Cost of Living Coalition was set up earlier this year in response to the rising cost of energy bills. The coalition consists of activists from various trade unions, community and campaigning groups.
As news of the latest price hike emerges, with Firmus increasing gas prices in the Greater Belfast and Ten Towers area by 56.3%, the group have organised a protest for Saturday, October 1 at Belfast City Hall.
