Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

A number of issues have been discussed in respect of the building societies (amendment) Bill. Those discussions are ongoing but I understand that the Bill will be ready this session.

The Deputy, as did Deputy Rabbitte last week, also raised the issue of the boundaries commission Bill. I have asked for it to be brought forward and I am informed that this will probably not happen until after Christmas. There is, as I said, no change in it.
