I do not know if the Taoiseach had the opportunity to read the Irish Examiner today, but the requirement for urgency in respect of a number of energy Bills should be more apparent when he has been brought up to date with the need for Ireland to make the transition to a post-petroleum economy and the need to make preparations for that eventuality. When will the electricity Bill — in respect of which there is not yet a date for publication — the energy (miscellaneous provisions) Bill and the national oil reserves agency Bill fast-tracked to indicate urgency on the part of the Government in respect of the matter to which I refer?
