Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

With reference to the Minister's portfolio and legislation that has been promised over a series of programmes, the financial services consolidation Bill, which I note is now the financial services modernisation and consolidation Bill, has been promised for this year. For the first time in a series of programme commitments it is not now expected until 2007. Will it be addressed in the time remaining for this Government before the next general election?
