EirGrid Bill and Grid 25

Summary

Deputy McGrath asks for progress on the EirGrid Bill and clarification of the Grid 25 route, while also raising alleged ageism at RTÉ. The Minister says the Bill is expected next year; the Chair rules out discussion of individuals.

I too wish the Minister well in whatever role he will have next week, and thank him for his co-operation. Could he expedite the progress of the EirGrid Bill and give some idea to people about the route of Grid 25?

Given the Minister's comments on radio recently, could he examine ageism in RTE, especially given that Gay Byrne is being brought back every second week to do interviews with people such as the Taoiseach?

Did Deputy McGrath not suggest Gay Byrne should run for the Presidency?
