Taskforce to meet on Friday over how to issue £400 energy bill discounts in Northern Ireland

Image source,Nadhim Zahawi met Stormont ministers and the Utility Regulator virtually earlier in August

The Barnett formula is used to calculate additional funding when there are changes to UK government spending that affects devolved services. But without a functioning executive at Stormont, money allocated from Westminster that way cannot be spent.The party is refusing to nominate a deputy first minister until the post-Brexit trading arrangements are changed, meaning a decision-making executive cannot be formed and the legislative assembly cannot operate.More on this story

Yes but do they have the power to do anything

Arrange with the utility companies to credit bills until the money is used up. The government are giving the money to these companies anyway and they are making billions in profit's.

Bang a few heads together and get this sorted

That crew on the hill are a disgrace every one no matter what side ..

By the time people get it it won't buy very much gas or electricity

Who exactly is that Taskforce made up of.... DUP waster's no doubt have a DIRTY RED HAND in it somewhere.

Didn’t we hear weeks ago that the fly-in chancellor would have this sorted in no time, many saying the cry that an exec was needed to do this was scaremongering ? Just getting around to a “task force” now. What next, a committee, a review ?, meanwhile no payout because of 1 party

The words “pissup” and “brewery” come to mind 🙄

Although the 400 will help but I think its not going to be enough. Stop the Dups wages now

People of northen ireland are doomed with the current bunch of monkeys in charge gonna be a long hard winter for people but sure what to the politicians care there still getting there big wage and they not even able to agree to work together so what hope do we all have

Another quango. An excuse for jobs for the boys. Stop the DUP free loaders wages,they are preventing people from getting help. While they claim they’ve a mandate for their strike,they also had a mandate for other policies have they lied about the other policies?

Any further help to GB consumers should not be implemented unless the easements can be implemented in NI at the same time. duponline are responsible for the failure to implement the £400 payment here aided and abetted by their Tory friends. ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern

Why do they need a task force? There are ways and means already in place to distribute this pymt. Or are they going to make a shambles of it as they did the £100 shopping card! Talk about making a meal of things!

Jesus Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey too. Enough of the bureaucracy: just create a one off exception to allow the funds to be distributed. These guys couldn't get you laid in a fucking brothel... Ridiculous.

There is a pile of people being paid a handsome salary that where elected to do this job they are called MLAs GET BACK TO WORK
