Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Has the Taoiseach had an opportunity to speak to the new British Prime Minister or is there an arrangement for him to meet Mr. Cameron to discuss matters of mutual interest, in particular regarding economic cross-Border activities? Has the Taoiseach put a call through or is he booked on the list of calls?

There has been a deal of comment about the proposals by Eirgrid to deal with the country's electricity grid situation. I refer to No. 38 on the legislative list which proposes to give formal recognition to the establishment of Eirgrid. This Bill is not expected to be published until some time in 2011. Is there a reason it is delayed for so long, given that Eirgrid is central to a range of proposals?
