Batt O'Keeffe (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I have a particular difficulty with this amendment in that it was disallowed and we did not, therefore, give it any consideration. Were we to accept it, additional wording would be required in regard to the connectional costs and all the data that go with it. In the circumstances in which it is recommitted, I cannot accept the amendment in its present form. We could, however, consider it when the Bill goes to the Seanad.
