- Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2006)
Eamon Ryan: The Minister did not satisfactorily explain the legislative device he is using with regard to the position of interconnectors in the transmission system. The new section 2A(1) states that an interconnector owned by the board is part of the transmission system, while section 2A(2) states that an interconnector not owned by the board is not part of the transmission system. This would apply to...

- State Property. (15 Nov 2006)
Eamon Ryan: It seems remarkable that we have just spent â¬6 million doing up two buildings, Technology House and the Materials Building, which are specific to the purpose of Enterprise Ireland but will spend a further â¬6 million in the next two years, given that the lease costs nearly â¬3 million per annum, on a building which is officially part of the decentralisation programme but which is located...
- State Property. (15 Nov 2006)
Eamon Ryan: The Government is scattering civil servants all over the country, which will do immense damage to the long-term joined-up thinking we need in the Civil Service. This does not appear to be a consideration in terms of splitting up the Civil Service elsewhere. Can the Minister indicate the estimated revenue that will be realised from the sale of the site? How can an agency like Enterprise...

- Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2006)
Eamon Ryan: Is it not the case that the ESB makes the vast majority of its profits in the transmission network area? Regarding the transmission and distribution systems, is there not a real concern that the company's profits are being sheltered in a non-competitive area? This is another reason separation of ownership would favour open and honest competition and my colleague Deputy Broughan might find...
- Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2006)
Eamon Ryan: I move amendment No. 57: In page 19, line 7, after "electricity"" to insert the following: "and to introduce a new definition: 'Eirgrid' which means the transmission system operator". This amendment, as with a series of amendments to follow, forms part of a range of amendments I am introducing to this Bill with the intention of providing for a much greater separation. In some cases this is...
- Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2006)
Eamon Ryan: I find the last part of the Minister's contribution very interesting. I accept the point that EirGrid may be defined in a separate statutory instrument. It is difficult when submitting amendments to take account of the full panoply of legislation. It seems the Minister is concurring with me when he states that if he were beginning with a blank sheet he would not devise the current...
