Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

If the Minister does not have power to direct the CER in this, what is his estimation of the ESB unions' and management's position on this? Does he believe they will agree to the concepts set out in the Green Paper on the separation of these plants into a separate State-owned company? If not, how does the Minister intend getting agreement on this proposal early in the new year?
