An Irish shop owner has told how she broke down in tears after she was slammed with a huge €21k electricity bill - for just one month of energy.

Annie Timothy, the owner of Timothy’s Londis in Abbeytown, Roscommon, said she simply cried when she opened the bill and saw the shocking figure.

Her monthly electricity bills for the supermarket have more than tripled since January - where it previously cost her €6,600 a month. The latest bill from Electric Ireland came in at €20,882.59 for one month and is due this Saturday, September 17, by direct debit.
