Northern Ireland's lights could go out in 2021 because of an energy crisis, South Antrim MP Danny Kinahan is warning.
And he says the lack of a Stormont Executive is exacerbating the problem.

Mr Kinahan says other factors will contribute to a 'perfect storm' for consumers:
Woman charged over theft of campaigner’s car ‘must stay out of Belfast’
Bluetongue restrictions in Northern Ireland will be relaxed from Friday
Conviction led to safeguarding review at Presbyterian Church
Coroner vows to keep Noah Donohoe inquest ‘on track’ for January start date
Appeal to European Court being considered after ruling over Troubles disclosures
