Meter tampering puts lives at risk, warns Gas Networks Ireland after Cork conviction

Gas Networks Ireland has detected more than 2,900 cases of meter tampering across the country since 2013.
Tampering with a gas meter puts lives at risk, Gas Networks Ireland has warned following a successful prosecution in Cork.
The company, which operates and maintains Ireland’s €3bn, 14,725km national gas network, issued the warning after a person received a three-month suspended sentence for unlawfully tampering with a gas meter at a property in a housing estate in the Mahon area.
