Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I strongly support Senator Cummins regarding the Paul Coffey report. Both Houses of the Oireachtas passed a resolution establishing the inquiry into the Stardust fire. Mr. Coffey made clear in his report that the families concerned were wronged and left under a cloud. The report recommended that both Houses should correct the public record. It is lax of us not to have not done so given that the other House passed a motion to this end last February. I would like to hear the Leader's opinion on how we should address the matter.

What is the House's legislative programme between now and the end of this session? We are led to believe that we will be dealing with some important Bills. I refer in particular to the proposed National Assets Management Agency Bill, which is very urgent. The delay in producing this legislation is causing confusion and the ensuing volatility in the markets is not good for stability. Given the considerable amount of misleading information that has issued in regard to NAMA, perhaps the Minister for Finance will make a statement to the House. Some of the best information on the matter comes from independent analysts who know what they are talking about. The Minister should give a lead on this and he might make a statement outlining the legislative programme and remaining sitting days for this House.
