On pay-as-you-go customers, the witnesses talk about protecting the vulnerable. When they talk about disconnection for vulnerable customers, they need to be clear it is not financially vulnerable customers or people at risk of energy poverty. It is only for those who are medically vulnerable.

Is that correct? How can Electric Ireland protect pay-as-you-go customers from these rises and from disconnections because, ultimately, they will self-disconnect?
