Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I accept that the Minister's role does not involve making decisions on how the electricity market is structured. However, I would like him to express his opinion on whether the 60% target can be achieved. Is there a need for specific legal mechanisms to help to meet the target? Is the Minister prepared to discuss the need for such mechanisms with his Government colleagues? All we have received from the ESB is a voluntary commitment. Not only do we need reviews of this nature so that debate can be generated, but we also need the Government to make decisions on the measures needed to bring about this eventuality.
