Geothermal and National Archives Bills

Summary

Deputy Durkan asks about the geothermal and National Archives amendment Bills; the Taoiseach gives no date for the latter but expects minerals legislation before moving to the geothermal Bill.

Bernard Durkan Deputy Bernard J. Durkan Fine Gael

On promised legislation, what are the current whereabouts of the dual thermal energy Bill? It has been around for quite a while and I am wondering if it would be possible to bring it before the House before the end of this session. The National Archives (Amendment) Bill is to amend the transfer records rule from 30 years to 20 years. Many constituents are inquiring about that at the moment. Is it likely to come before the House in the near future?

I do not have a date for the National Archives (Amendment) Bill. The minerals Bill is expected to be published before the end of May. Following the publication of that Bill, the focus will shift to the preparation for the geo-thermal Bill.
