- Energy Resources. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: Does the Minister accept that he is having it both ways in his approach to nuclear power? Depending on his audience, he says that he wants to encourage debate on nuclear power or that he totally opposes nuclear power. Will the Minister come down off the fence? There is no point in having a debate on nuclear power if the Minister is clear that it will go nowhere. A nuclear renaissance is...
- Energy Resources. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: I remind the Minister that this is not about schoolboy debates, it is about governing, about being a Minister and having policies. I have no doubt he is genuine in his beliefs, and I pay tribute to that. The Minister says we should debate the nuclear option, knowing full well that he has no conviction in that regard at all, and it is just a bit too glib. The Minister has a clear policy...
- Energy Resources. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: I suggest we get on to the real business and not embark on a debate that will lead nowhere. Such a debate lets the Minister off the hook when he might have a difficult audience to address and when he wants an opt out.
- Energy Resources. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: Are we to censor them?
- Energy Resources. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: Does the Minister believe it is the duty of one party to support another? Is he aware the Labour Party has a well thought-out policy on climate change? I do not know if he has read it but maybe he could support us in this regard. I support his view that the real issues need to be examined but that there is no need for a debate on nuclear energy.
- Telecommunications Services. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: I do not want to cause any legal difficulties but would the threat of legal action have an influence on strategic planning by the Department? Up to â¬170 million was allocated to phase 2 of the MANs roll-out and a phase 3 is planned. Will the Minister give a figure for that phase? The larger the amount allocated, the more likely the danger of legal difficulties with EU law. Has the...

- Alternative Energy Projects. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: Everyone accepts that pioneering work in its early stages is being carried out in this field and that the west of Ireland is a very good location for this kind of development. Is the Minister convinced that we are providing enough in terms of support for individual companies developing prototypes, particularly in the area of wave energy and in the area of tidal energy? I get the impression...
- Alternative Energy Projects. (15 Nov 2007)
Liz McManus: I am having difficulty extracting specific information from the Minister and while what he is saying is interesting it is not providing clarity as to what the policy of his Department is in this regard, though I am new to this portfolio. Are we concentrating our efforts on the development of indigenous industry in the wave and tidal energy sector? If a target of 75 MW is to be set, surely...
