Summary

Deputy Woods attributed the mill’s high electricity costs to a 29 per cent ESB increase; the Chair said the matter belonged to another Department.

Surely the Minister for Rising Prices, Deputy Kelly, has responsibility for allowing increases in ESB charges which were of the order of 29 per cent when already the company's ESB bill was £1½ million per annum.

That is the responsibility of a totally different Department. The matter is more appropriate to the Department of Finance.
