    This evening, had just got baby to bed, in our bungalow. Doorbell rang, saw a blue coat thought it might be my father.

    Nope, was an electric Ireland guy, I straight away said 'no thanks we have an electricity supplier' whom we are in a monthly plan with. Immediately your guys eyes get all big, he raises his voice and shouts 'BUT I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU!!!!!' As I shut the door, and our baby wakes up.

    Why are you sending these people around cold calling on people? Does your organization know that you are sending people on to private property and as such , residents are not obliged to entertain these people?

    I am very much a 21st century citizen, if I want a new service I will seek it out myself, online or otherwise.

    Please don't send these desperate , obviously working on commission people around to my house again.

    Hi Flippyfloppy,

    This behaviour certainly isn't acceptable, and our apologies for this. Electric Ireland in no way condones aggressive selling techniques. We would be very grateful if you could send us further information by private message so we can investigate this for you.

    If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

    Regards,
    David
