Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

That is too long and it should be reconsidered.

I support Senator Hayes's request for a debate on a press council, which would be very useful. We should also have a rounded debate on competitiveness. While I have not read the National Competitiveness Council's report, I note from the headlines that we have one of the highest industrial electricity costs. However, we have relatively low domestic electricity costs. Sometimes the negatives are exaggerated and the positives are ignored.
