Paul Murphy: I have two final questions. Is Dr. Okafor aware of any documentation existing of any consent process surrounding the use of these springs? I understand no consent process could possibly agree to the use of these springs, which are not authorised and so on, but was there any consent process, even though it would not have been adequate? Second, the letter of 21 February that purports to...

- Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (27 Sep 2023)
Paul Murphy: We can see that this Bill limits itself solely to changing the corporate arrangements of Ervia and Gas Networks Ireland. It is a missed opportunity on many levels.
