Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

There is no sustainable or convincing reason the Government should not accept the Bill. The structure and solution proposed are not controversial. There is widespread support from all the organisations associated with electricity safety, and the measures proposed in the Bill would utilise existing structures and resources without placing the burden of a single additional cent of funding on the Exchequer. The most compelling reason for accepting the Bill is that it would save lives. The sooner the Government accepts this, the more lives that will be saved. What more compelling reason could there be for accepting the legislation?
