Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

When will the electricity Bill be published? The Minister may be able to give an indication when it will be brought before the House. What about the broadcasting authority Bill, which is eagerly awaited? It was promised that the electronic communications Bill would be published this year. In view of the Minister's mistake in helping his colleague to vote this morning, it is very important legislation. It is important that such a Bill is brought before the House so that in future, he does not allow his thumb to slip and cast his colleague's vote.
