Pay-as-you-go energy customers will not be cut off this winter, Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said.
The country is facing into a bleak winter without a guarantee power blackouts will not occur. Energy supply is in a delicate position due to the Russian war with Ukraine.
Russia is one of the biggest suppliers of gas to the EU and the war has disrupted the supply which has driven the cost of energy soaring. And concerns were raised that those on pay-as-you-go energy deals could be effectively cut off because they cannot afford to put any more money on the meter.
