Assurances have been sought from the UK government that those living in rented accommodation will receive the £600 energy payment rather than their landlords.
Sinn Féín MP for West Tyrone, Órfhlaith Begley, has written to the British Secretary Of State seeking assurances that the £600 Energy Payment Voucher will go directly to those who pay the energy bills in privately rented accommodation.
The UK government has announced details of the payments this week, which are expected to begin rolling out in mid January.
