Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Dublin City Council is aware that there is only a 1% difference between supply and demand. Therefore, if anything significant occurs the supply could be in crisis. Normally, a city has a 15% surplus because of other outages or problems that might arise. I refute utterly that Dublin City Council is dragging its heals. If Deputy Stanley has questions then he ought to ask Dublin City Council to come before the relevant Oireachtas committee and he can carry out due diligence and question the council. That is the proper place to bring the council at this time. I believe the council is doing its best and there is no unnecessary delay in this matter.
