I am disappointed with that because I understood from the start that the Minister of State was responsible. In relation to the trees under wires and the ESB, does the Minister of State have any say in what the ESB is doing or how far back it is cutting in blanket forest? How far back is the ESB supposed to cut near the wires? This is to prevent power outages like the ones we had for days and weeks on end in places like Cordal and Brosna. It is happening all too often in different places.
