Economic Competitiveness.
3:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
The Government collectively has a very important fundamental duty to maintain our cost base under control as much as possible. My Department does not control the cost of electricity in the State, which is one of the cost factors which bears on our inflation. We have established as a State an independent system of regulation to determine energy prices. That independent process is informed by objective characteristics.
