Winter energy bills are now costing hundreds of euro more than last year and prices are climbing up and down supermarket aisles. In this episode, consumer affairs correspondent Conor Pope tells Sorcha Pollak what is behind the rising cost of living and how long should we expect prices to soar. We also hear from single mother of two, Cheryl Barry, who shares her experience of living on the one-parent family payment, while trying to provide for her family.
