Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

Publication of the electoral (amendment) (no. 2) Bill is expected in this session. Given that there are court proceedings on this matter has the date of publication been revised or will it be on the schedule for this session?

The energy (miscellaneous provisions) Bill will give the Minister power to give general policy directions to the Commission for Energy Regulation. Will the remit of the Bill cover non-traditional forms of energy and relieve our dependency on fossil fuels, particularly in the area of biofuels?
