Electricity Regulation (Amendment) (Carbon Revenue Levy) Bill 2010: Second Stage (1 Jun 2010)

Liz McManus: I welcome the Bill and the fact that a common sense approach has been taken by the Minister following a certain amount of pressure and protest from the party Whips on this side of the House. I was extremely concerned at the idea that a couple of amendments tacked onto the bio-fuels Bill would somehow suffice. That we now have a pristine Bill with an impressive title, namely, the Electricity...

Liz McManus: What the Minister has said does not get address the question we are asking. A formal letter was sent by the previous Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.

Broadcasting Legislation (1 Jun 2010)

Liz McManus: My question specifically referred to the Six Nations and the Heineken Cup, which the Minister intended to make free-to-air for Irish audiences. It appears he has since rowed back from his position because he is now saying that he has an open mind. I would be grateful if he could set out the exact Government position because Ministers appear to hold conflicting views. In my opinion, this is...

Broadcasting Legislation (1 Jun 2010)

Liz McManus: We should not rewrite history. The Minister had his period of consultation but it seems that he listened most closely to his son. I do not argue with that but he did not work out his position. When he announced his intention to designate at the end of what appeared to be a consultation period, all hell broke lose and he is now trying to dress up the process to make it seem as if he is...
