Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am disappointed the Minister of State is not accepting my amendment because loosely worded legislation leads to bad law. As the Minister of State said, we should keep the legislation under review. I have a concern regarding the role of the Commission for Energy Regulation. We may have devolved too much power to it but I am not sure. Primary legislation should, in the first instance, be as strong as possible. I would have preferred it had the Minister of State accepted the amendment.
