Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The EirGrid Bill is expected next year. The McGuinness commission will decide its terms of reference on the basis of criteria that are to be set out. It will look at the response of the Minister to Grid Link and Grid West. I hope that can be extended to the North-South project as well. It has nothing to do with the EirGrid Bill, which is listed for next year.

I thank the Deputy for his comments in respect of the former Deputy and Minister of State, Ted Nealon. While I am on my feet, I would like to express our sympathy to Deputy Michael McGrath on the sad death of his brother.
