@dmcbfs This is what I raised with the SOS yesterday. The most vulnerable people face a delay in payment and lack of security around ensuring only they can cash it out.
Government doesn't seem to have a scheme to address it: they're just demanding the energy companies do. It's a mess.

@dmcbfs The issue is cashing out. Placing credit on the account is fine. Cashing out if people need the money for gas/oil is not.
If everyone with a DD account sought to cash out at once, the system couldn't cope.
Those on PAYG are even more complicated as there's no way to verify ID.>

@Spanglor I had the same issue this morning, but it now seems to have been fixed.

And I'm defending the police who are not my boss.

@RemoveTheRoom @HarriettmooreB2 @CahootsNI @JunctionAntrim @NickDMathison is working on the uniform issue, too. Bespoke items are raising the cost, and families are really struggling.

Well done Mrs McGuigain!

RT @micky_murray: The last few months of the previous Assembly mandate there was so much talk about the need to #BanConversionTherapy
7 months later & there’s been zero progress on banning this torturous practice.
There’s so much potential in devolved govt, but so many wasted opportunities.

Now, if you say you had a fluffy muff people look at you in horror...🤣
