Is Mr. Wilson concerned about what I regard as the slow rate of progress in terms of an all-Ireland single energy market and the plans to generate energy in the future using renewables? I would have thought that at this stage we would be further down that road. Is Mr. Wilson concerned that we will achieve our 2020 targets at the rate at which we are progressing?

On the role of electricity in facilitating a low-carbon economy, all of us have ideas about what we believe that means, but should that be specified in the heads of the Bill?
