Vol. 530 No. 6

Written Answers. - Electricity Generation.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

147 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if she has made the necessary funds available to the ESB to tackle the issue of power blackouts at various locations throughout the country; if the issue of overload has been brought to her attention; if she has given any directives to the ESB in this regard; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4967/01]

The management of power blackouts and overloads is a day to day operational matter for the ESB and Eirgrid and not one in which I have a function. The ESB's capital investment programme is the responsibility of the company and is financed out of the company's resources.
