Thu 07 Jul 2010Ryan opposed to privatisation of State assets that are 'delivering'

MINISTER FOR Communications Eamon Ryan has firmly opposed the privatisation of State assets that are “delivering”, including the ESB, Bord Gáis and An Post.

“I don’t think it does make sense in relation to the likes of ESB and Bord Gáis to disrupt what’s working well,” the Minister said last night.
