I am hopeful we can get the legislation through both Houses this year. That is my objective. That is pretty decent. It is a complicated Bill. I hope we can get the legislation through and during 2019 we could get the national claims database up and running. That is realistic. I do not want to give the Deputy a date that is not realistic. It will be at some stage in 2019 but I cannot say what stage in 2019 it will be. If we can get the legislation published before the end of this session and through both houses before the end of this year, it would be a good body of work. Work is continuing in parallel with the Central Bank on this.
