There are no proposals at present to sell the ESB or any of the State's energy assets.

The Report of the Review Group on State Assets and Liabilities has recently been submitted to the Government and published. The Government has stated that the recommendations of that Report will be considered and that consultations will take place with the stakeholders. I am aware that there are many diverging views in relation to issues arising in any consideration of a sale of State assets.
