Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

Since there is agreement there is no need to delay anything. I wish the company well with its strategic approach. I realise that it has already been stated by Members of the House that we must ensure there is development of gas infrastructure in future. There are concerns internationally about the supply of gas, and it would be worth our while at some stage to debate future supply, not only of gas but of other fuel sources also. Today's measure is practical and I wish it every success. On Committee Stage I referred to the advertisements stating the provision of gas was fast and efficient. The processing of this Bill has also been fast and efficient.
