Man’s protest at ESB threat

AN unemployed man chained himself to railings at ESB headquarters yesterday in protest at threats to cut off his electricity as his daughter collected her Leaving Certificate results.

Seamus Sherlock travelled from Limerick to central Dublin over ESB management’s refusal to accept his attempts to pay €50 a week off outstanding bills.

The separated father-of-five had been left a €2,261 bill when he took over the household in June.
