Energy and Red Cross legislation
Bernard Durkan asks for updates on the long-promised Red Cross (Amendment) Bill and the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. The Taoiseach says the energy Bill is expected later in the year and promises to report back on the Red Cross legislation.
With regard to promised legislation, what is the current position on the Red Cross (amendment) Bill, which has been promised for some time and which is being sought with some considerable interest? What is the position on the energy (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, which will generate some debate on electricity generation, wind energy, fossil fuel energy and the extent to which energy in general will feed into the national grid?
