Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I accept what the Minister of State says regarding the intention of the State to refrain from selling assets such as gas pipeline infrastructure and electricity infrastructure. However, my original question was somewhat more specific in respect of the actual companies involved. The State owns three or four energy companies. I am trying to establish whether the Minister of State's Department or the Department of Finance are considering raising money through the sale or partial sale of these or any of the other companies to which he referred.
