Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Some misgivings have also been expressed about consistency in the operation of the regulatory organisations. As I said, in July 2000, the Interdepartmental Review Group on Public Safety published a report dealing with all aspects of its remit. In the foreword, the chairman, Professor Danny O'Hare, highlighted the fact that issues affecting the regulation of the electrical contracting sector raised serious questions about public safety that needed to be urgently addressed. The Department of Public Enterprise led an initiative to involve the Commission for Electricity Regulation in dealing with issues of public safety affecting the electrical contracting sector. That process has not yet reached a conclusion, but the Commissioner for Electricity Regulation has held discussions with interested parties about issues of concern.
