Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach dealt with the substance of this question in some detail earlier. With regard to the legislation, there are no dates at the moment for the noise nuisance Bill or the common arrangements for gas Bill. There is a date for the EirGrid Bill, which is next year. Deputy Bannon is right in stating that the Bill needs to be introduced, and we will see it early next year. That is my understanding.
