Dublin Gas receivership and sale process
Mr. Brennan questioned whether receivership was appropriate after the Minister announced nationalisation, and challenged the suggestion that any price might be paid for the company. The Ceann Comhairle ruled this a separate question.
Is the Minister convinced that the technique of receivership is the correct one in this case? Would he comment on the notion that is now circulating in a number of areas that he is saying to the Dublin Gas receiver that, no matter who the bidder is, when the receiver offers it for sale he will be the highest bidder? Is that not a cumbersome procedure?
Comment on this
The question asks about replying to a letter, and all of what I am saying is about that correspondence. I am asking the Minister if he accepts that receivership is the best technique, having announced that he will nationalise the company? Is it not ridiculous to suggest that the receiver will be told that any price will be paid for the company?
