Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Can I ask also what is the status of the Electricity (Transfer of Transmission Assets) Bill that is on the Dáil Order Paper? Are we now seeing a U-turn by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources on the separation of transmission within the electricity system, which again is legislation designed to improve the competitiveness of structures for people competing abroad? Is there an action plan to fast-track those legislative elements that would help to make up a competitiveness action plan? What is the Tánaiste's strategy to fast-track them?
