That’s the energy impact in one month but before the increases that are coming in October we were anticipating €350,000 in the year and if it’s gone from €71,000 to €21,000 there’s €50,000 grand a month... The €350,000 figure is just gas and electricity. It’s nothing about the 30 per cent increase we’ve had on the laundry costs because of course they use gas to dry the laundry and it’s taken account of the 25 per cent that our food has gone up or the 19 per cent that the drinks have gone up, and these are all from excess of energy costs that they are all paying and then the transportation costs.He said that lights can be switched off and heating run a little later in the year, but that savings from these actions would be "minuscule" compared to the increased bills businesses are facing. “It’s really a very bleak outlook for the winter without intervention,” he added.
