Regulatory Reform.
11:00 am
Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)
Regarding the OECD's views on regulatory impact analysis, was the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill subject to regulatory impact analysis? Does the Taoiseach accept the comments about the lack of proper regulatory analysis and the regulatory failure cited by Airtricity when it pulled out of the residential energy market in Ireland? What lessons must be learned from this devastating development given that 11,000 customers must change from green, clean energy to something dirtier? Is the Taoiseach satisfied the regulatory impact analysis is working when such a major regulatory failure can be cited?
