One in five household gas customers is now behind on their bill, sparking ‘major concerns’.
Sinn Fein climate justice spokesperson Lynn Boylan requested the latest arrears figures from the Commission for Regulation of Utilities through the Joint Committee on Climate Action.
They show that of the 690,000 who rely on gas to heat their homes, 139,785 were in arrears at the end of December rising to 152,276 by the end of February.
