Sinn Fein finance spokesperson Pearse Doherty said the number of those in energy arrears, published by the energy regulator on Wednesday, was “a flashing red light” for what was to come during the cold months.

He said the 180,000 households in arrears with their gas bills did not include those “only managing to keep up”.
