Abraham Lincoln once said about General McClellan that "he has the slows". I wonder whether someone in the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources has the slows because the Taoiseach promised that the energy Bill would be before the House by now. Even with the approach of the season of goodwill, there is no rush by the Minister into the House with the Bill in his hot little fist. Will the Taoiseach encourage him to do that as soon as possible? It is an important issue.
