Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Ba mhaith liom ard mholadh a thabhairt don Seanadóir Ó Murchú as ucht an Bille seo a thabhairt chun cinn.

Seanad: Gas Regulation Bill 2013: Second Stage (17 Oct 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Cuireann sá alltacht orm go bhfuil Aire de chuid an Lucht Oibre ag tabhairt Bille den chineál seo os ár gcomhair - go bhfuiltear ag díol chomhlacht Stáit atá ag déanamh brabaigh ag am a dteastaíonn infheistiú sa Stát seo. It is not without irony that the Gas Regulation Bill is being introduced by a Labour...
