Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

In the absence of the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, will the Taoiseach indicate when the national oil reserves agency Bill might appear, given the rapidly escalating oil prices? When will the energy Bill, which is a mute subject at present, appear? The Minister is a bit shy about coming into the House. We may have offended him, but will the Taoiseach give us an update on the legislation?
