Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

A Bill to transfer assets from the ESB to EirGrid was to have been published. There seems to be yet another change of heart in Government on this project, which is due to be completed in 2008. Does the Government intend to proceed with the legislation? It is not the legislation on the Order Paper that relates to EirGrid and the east-west connector. I am talking about what the Department described as priority legislation, which I had understood was to have been published by now.
