============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Ceann Comhairle, and thank Deputy Durkan for raising the issue. As I stated a moment ago, the relevant bodies here are all working together - the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, EirGrid and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. They have taken certain steps to ensure continuity of supply. The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has said he is confident that there will not be any unforeseen outages.
As the Deputy will be aware, there have been certain early warnings issued over the course of the year but on no occasion was power supply interrupted for any customer. It is important to put that on the record.
