‹ Order of Business EirGrid Bill and Grid25
Summary
Dara Calleary seeks the EirGrid Bill and a debate on Grid25 after criticism from the ESB. The Taoiseach says the Bill is due the following year and suggests a Topical Issue debate.
The EirGrid Bill is intended to establish EirGrid as a separate legal entity. EirGrid is currently legally attached to the ESB, which last week rubbished Grid25, the central plank of EirGrid's plans. The Minister can deny that if he wishes. Will the Taoiseach bring forward the EirGrid Bill or allow a debate on Grid25 in the context of the ESB's proposals and submissions last week?
