Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

I indicated to the Deputy that a PSO directive was almost finalised and that the Bill had to be reviewed in that light. There was a legal action against the State at EU level that also had to be taken into account. I had a particular interest in ensuring the land use and transport sections of the Bill would be sufficiently strong to ensure the issues could be married. I also told him that when those matters were resolved, I would bring the Bill before the House. I stand over that statement.
