Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

It is fortuitous that the Minister for Finance is taking the Order of Business today because under promised legislation it is necessary for him to move rather urgently. I do not know if he is aware that he is the main creditor of a construction company that has gone into liquidation owing the Revenue Commissioners €2.5 million and the workers more than €300,000. This relates to No. 41, company law consolidation and reform Bill. Can we deal with a situation where a company can go into liquidation on one day and continue working the following day with the same workers?
