Sinn Féin has tabled a motion to ensure households using pre-pay metres are protected from disconnections.
Sinn Féin is calling for a ban on energy disconnections for the upcoming winter.
The party has tabled a motion in the Dáil this evening to ensure households using pre-pay metres are protected from gas and electricity disconnections.
As it stands, pre-pay customers have a 20 euro emergency credit - when that runs out, they're automatically shut off.
Longford Westmeath TD Sorca Clarke says households need urgent support:
