Dublin Bay North Labour TD Seán Kenny has said that the decision to extend the fuel allowance because of the cold weather will be appreciated.

"Minister Joan Burton has acted quickly in light of the cold weather and has extended the fuel allowance by a week, as people will obviously need to heat their homes for longer."

"There are just over 400,000 recipients of the fuel allowance. They will be paid automatically and do not need to worry about applying for the extra week, which begins on April 8th."
