Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Since the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources has returned from his endeavours in the constituency, would it now be opportune to inquire about progress on the electronic communications Bill which has been promised for a considerable time? Many things were promised over the past couple of weeks and now might be a good time to deliver on some of them.

The energy Bill is also pertinent and has been awaited for some time. It could well do with an energetic boost from the Minister if it were available.
