Answer

The Utility Regulator is currently engaged in a review of regulated gas tariffs in respect of Airtricity Gas Supply (for the Greater Belfast area) and firmus energy (for the Ten Towns area). It is expected that these reviews will conclude soon to allow any changes to gas bills to take effect from 1 April 2015.
