Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I have some sympathy for Deputy Durkan's proposal. It is a bit like the discussion we had last week on NORA, the National Oil Reserves Agency. The Minister wants to give reasonable flexibility to the Department and to CER, in this case, with regard to the development of the generation system or the possibility of an interconnector. Clearly it could have a fundamental impact on our infrastructure down the line.
