Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

There are two Bills in respect of which the heads have yet to be approved by Government, namely, the electricity (transfer of transmission assets) Bill and the electricity regulation (EirGrid)(amendment) Bill. In view of the current lack of consultation in other areas, will the Tánaiste indicate whether discussions are ongoing among the various interested parties and the relevant Department or if these matters have been discussed recently at Cabinet?
