I will deal with the Minister, Deputy Howlin, also. What is being discussed this evening is nothing new. I have mentioned it in this House and outside it time out of number - not in naming the two stations, but naming the Government decision to dispose of the energy business of Bord Gáis Éireann and some power generation plants in the ESB. That is as old as the lifetime of the Government. The Minister, Deputy Howlin, correctly told the House that no such power generation facility would be disposed of this year, nor will that happen.
