- State Assets and Liabilities (20 Oct 2010)
Leo Varadkar: There is a tied theme between Deputy McManus's last question and my previous question. The Minister is just not interested in working out the cost of anything. During the boom period, "Champagne Charlie" gave tax cuts, pay increases and tax shelters to everybody, and during the bust, "Easy Eamon" is prepared to sign any blank cheque without ever working out the cost. Ministers may change,...

Leo Varadkar: That makes a change.
- Television Licence Fee (20 Oct 2010)
Leo Varadkar: The Minister did a fair bit of bluffing on the Oxford study on broadband roll-out, only mentioning the bits he liked. If he had read it thoroughly, he would have noted it stated that Ireland, although coming from a bad position to a better one, is still not a leader and would not be able to deliver television on-line and other such service access. Honesty from the Minister would not go...
- Electricity Transmission Network (20 Oct 2010)
Leo Varadkar: I have two questions. The Minister said the report is being finalised. Will he confirm whether he has already seen the draft report? A draft report was submitted to him about three weeks ago. Has he seen it and will he comment on it? Second, would the Minister not agree that it does not make sense for a small country such as Ireland to have two network companies, one owning the...

Leo Varadkar: Is the report considering that option?
- Electricity Transmission Network (20 Oct 2010)
Leo Varadkar: I presume the Minister has read our policy which is to reintegrate EirGrid back into ESB Networks Ltd. and sell the generation and supply. It is no secret that it has been our policy for two years. However, that is not the question I asked, which is whether the Frontier Economics report has been allowed to consider other options, such as the options put forward by my party, or if it is only...
- Energy Conservation (20 Oct 2010)
Leo Varadkar: I had hoped to receive an answer in percentage terms. If the target is to reduce energy use by 33%, how much has been achieved so far? Is it 3%, 4% or 10% of the 33%? I am not so much interested in the figure; I just want to know that when the Government sets a target such as this, it knows what the target means. When the Minister sets a target of 33%, I assume he knows what 1% or 100% is...
