Households in Northern Ireland are to get a £400 (€473) discount on their energy bills - just as SSE Airtricity hikes costs for customers in Northern Ireland as well as the Republic.

Households in Northern Ireland are to get a £400 discount on their energy bills, Stormont Finance Minister Conor Murphy has said.

The men were speaking after a meeting of a taskforce set up by UK Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi to examine the implementation of an energy support scheme, announced last month, for 29m households. But he added that it is"deeply regrettable" that the Conservative government has"failed to confirm whether households will receive their payment at the same time as those in England, Scotland and Wales".Meanwhile, SSE Airtricity has announced price hikes which will hit customers in Northern Ireland as well as in the Republic.The UK Consumer Council has warned that people in Northern Ireland are facing into a"very serious crisis" this winter.
