Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

The Government has promised to introduce as a matter of some urgency in this session a Bill to provide for the use of non-UCITS common contractual funds, protected cells and cross-investments to meet the development needs of the IFSC funds industry. What does this mean and can the Tánaiste provide briefing for the Opposition on what specifically is envisaged?

The employment permit Bill was promised for a long time by the Tánaiste when she was the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. Will the content of the Bill be as announced when she was Minister to provide that the permit will accrue to the individual rather than to the applicant company?
