Effectively, most of the Bill will have to have commencement orders. We want to do it as soon as possible. As soon as the legislation is passed by the Oireachtas, we will immediately discuss with the Central Bank the timing of the commencement orders. As we speak today, frankly, we do not have a date for the commencement orders of this section other than to say it will be done as quickly as possible, in consultation with the Central Bank, once it passes through the Oireachtas. We do not have the commencement dates today. All I am in a position to say is that it will be as soon as possible.
