Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has announced that he intends to introduce new legislation to require the regulation of auctioneers and estate agents. Will the Bill provide for ministerial responsibility in that regard, given that the Minister in question has not taken the best course of action in his purchase of land in north Dublin? When will the intellectual property Bill be introduced?
