Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

In regard to the opening of the electricity market, will the electricity Bill have to wait until the full review which the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources has inaugurated takes place? When will it be published? In her former role, and as a follow up to my colleague Deputy Michael Higgins, is it true that last year she pulled most of the labour inspectorate out of their job of inspecting work places for EU duties with the result that no inspections were taking place and the kind of abuses which Deputy Howlin will raise later today were allowed?
