Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

I am advised that the document referred to by the Deputy is among a number of matters shortly to be considered before the Supreme Court in relation to an extant legal case. Given that the matter is effectively sub judice I am not in a position to comment at this stage.
