EirGrid Bill timetable
Mattie McGrath challenges the delay in the EirGrid Bill, while the Taoiseach says it is expected in 2015; exchanges follow over the criticism made.
With regard to the Green Paper, White Paper or black paper which the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, cannot see through with regard to the EirGrid Bill, a total of 35,000 people made submissions on their views. Why must the Minister have a commission and a White or Green Paper to cod the people further? I want an answer on this. It is a pity the Minister has gone.

It is next year every time I ask. It was next year last year.

I know that, but it was 2013 first then 2014 and now 2015. Will the Government be around to do it?

The Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, is very offended.
