The mother of three disabled children has spoken of how she is struggling to pay the running costs of vital medical equipment as electricity bills soar.
Three of Rita Dempsey’s five children – Shona, 21, Tom, 18, and 14-year-old Lily – have intellectual and physical disabilities. They are wheelchair users and have other medical conditions.
Rita, from Oylegate, Co Wexford, now fears her bi-monthly electricity bill will top €600 and feels there is no way to bring down the costs.
