I apologise for being late and missing the presentations. I must declare I was employed by the ESB for quite a while.

I am glad to hear that sympathy, concern and every opportunity is given to the consumer in the case of disconnections. I am glad that this is still continuing and I hope it will continue that way. It is as a last resort that consumers are disconnected. For my colleagues, I can endorse that.

How does the consumer decide on who is the cheapest provider? I am not saying that I am more clever than any of the rest of them. Would it be possible for them to merely reduce the bill and maybe let the consumer know? They will know when they see the bill.

I am fearful. I am with the same provider - without stating which it is. I never changed.
