Will the Minister give some detail on the wholesale market and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Energy Policy: Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (3 Dec 2015)

Michael Moynihan: I welcome the Minister and his officials to discuss energy. The Minister gave me credit on the Order of Business this morning, which does nothing for my street credibility. Wind power, a policy which was developed in 2007, seems to be the main renewable energy but we seem to have come to saturation point in this regard. Many commentators, nationally and internationally, say the amount of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Energy Policy: Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (3 Dec 2015)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (15 Dec 2015)

Michael Moynihan: Before getting to this question, I am astonished that a priority question I submitted relating to mobile telephone coverage throughout the country was disallowed yesterday. The same question was tabled and allowed in September and I wanted an update on what has happened since.
