Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

Returning to the issue of the electricity Bill, the Cahill report recommends that we could apply for a derogation - it would be successful - from the EU electricity directive. The deadline for doing so is next week so the clock is ticking. The Cahill report has not been published but it clearly recommends an opportunity for us to do something which is cost-efficient. The Government must give this its urgent attention as the deadline is next week. Will the Government seek that derogation and implement the recommendations of the Cahill report?
