EirGrid Bill and McGuinness report
Barry Cowen asks when the EirGrid Bill and the McGuinness report on pylons will be published. The Tánaiste has no dates but undertakes to provide further information.
On the proposed legislation, as published yesterday, could I ask the Tánaiste about the EirGrid Bill, which is to establish EirGrid in primary legislation. Will the report of Mrs. Justice McGuinness on the pylon issue predate the Bill, in order for the electorate to recognise the impact of the legislation on various parts of the country? Could the Tánaiste inform the House of the date of publication of the Bill?

When can we expect the report of Mrs. Justice McGuinness?

I will have to come back to the Deputy on the matter as I do not have a date for publication of the report.

I ask the Tánaiste to come back to me on Tuesday with the details.
