Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

As usual, the Deputy is a decade behind the curve. On the matter raised, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform simply outlined a number of options that are in the public domain and are under consideration by the Government. He did not indicate any specific decision that would be taken as none will be finalised until I rise from my seat on 7 December.
