Ms Una Nic Giolla Choille:

Deputy Stanley is correct that the single electricity market dates from 2007. It is almost ten years on. It came into effect in November - we have a bit to go yet. It has a long history that is underpinned, in governance terms, by the legislation that was enacted in both the Oireachtas and Westminster. Indeed, I was here not six months ago when the Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment was discussing the revision to the legislation to facilitate the current project which is on track for May 2018. We regularly discuss with our Northern colleagues and with London the roll-out and implementation of that project. Indeed, it was good to have the legislation done in July 2016.
