Sinn Féin's Sorca Clarke feels the measure is needed for those who can't afford their electricity bills.
A Midlands TD is calling on the government to introduce emergency measures for those who can't afford their electricity bills.
According to the latest CRU statistics, over 500,000 household energy accounts are now in arrears, the highest level recorded to date.
Sinn Féin's Sorca Clarke wants to see the Government bring forward energy credits for households and a windfall tax on energy companies' excess profits.
She says there isn't enough being done to solve this issue:
