Leo Varadkar: Question 13: To ask the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources his view on the proposal to reduce reconnection and disconnection charges; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45065/10]
- Energy Supply (30 Nov 2010)
Leo Varadkar: I am pleased that the CER has moved on this matter and that the cost of disconnection-reconnection will be shared. We have discussed the extent to which people are having their power cut off or "de-energised", as the ESB likes to describe it. It is appalling that when people come to an agreement to sort out their bills, they are then charged for reconnection. However, something has come to...

- Postal Services (30 Nov 2010)
Leo Varadkar: I agree strongly with Deputy McManus that unique identifier postcodes should be adopted and that the location code should be one's postcode. I believe this is the point we both are making. It is not just because of market opportunities, because other issues also arise, such as emergency access in particular. As someone who has done a small amount of medical work driving around the back...
- Postal Services (30 Nov 2010)
Leo Varadkar: This could be a matter of life and death and not simply a matter of what type of post one receives. However, again I am completely baffled by the Minister's answer. I understood him to state that we would have an alphanumeric-based postcode system that could be modified at a later stage to become a location code. He then stated that next year, which is only a few weeks away, we are going...

- EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)
Leo Varadkar: We all hope the deal works and that we will turn this vicious cycle that is working against us, this perfect storm, the other way and create a virtuous cycle. I am concerned that it might not work. At what point after the three-month reviews will it be decided that the deal will not work and that its terms are insufficient? If there must be an orderly restructuring of our debt, what...
