Over 300,000 Irish Households In Energy Arrears

The latest figures from the Commission for Regulation of Utilities make for stark reading. More than 328,000 households are behind on their electricity bills, with almost 189,000 in gas arrears. Hundreds of households are also being disconnected for failing to pay.  With energy prices remaining high and further increases on the way, what should Government be doing when the Dáil returns from its summer break?  Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to discuss the growing pressure on families were Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan, and Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe / Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney.
