	Don’t smoke or use naked flame
	Don’t unplug or switch anything electrical on or off

	If the smell persists turn off the gas at the meter. If you’re not sure how to do that, please read GNI’s guide on how to turn your gas supply on and off
	Call Gas Network Ireland’s 24 hour Emergency Line 1800 20 50 50 no matter who your gas supplier is
	If you can’t get through, dial 999 / 112
