Electric Ireland’s 16 Euro Letter Sparks Outrage | Belfast News

Electric Ireland sent a distressing letter to an elderly, recently widowed man over a 16 euro debt, triggering panic about losing his gas supply—despite him already struggling with funeral costs and the cost of living. A TD, Mattie McGrath, condemned the aggressive tone, highlighting that the company’s parent, ESB, made 636 million euros in profit last year while pressuring a vulnerable pensioner over a tiny shortfall. Electric Ireland says it’s reviewing the case and reaching out to the customer directly, but the incident underscores how even small debts can cause immense stress for those already facing hardship.
