Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for that welcome information. I am pleased that the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, has agreed to introduce an amendment on Report Stage of the Gas Regulation Bill 2013 to provide for a report to be laid before the Oireachtas in 12 months time. That is an excellent practice and I hope the Minister, Deputy Howlin, will be able to do something similar with the national lottery. He might tell us how the funds will be protected and what will happen during this and subsequent years. Perhaps the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, might do the same in respect of the ESB's power plants in order that people can look back one year later and learn lessons for the future.
