Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

On the subject of legislation that has been promised but not published, with one week remaining, will the Government reconsider the priority given to the various Bills it proposes to enact before the recess? The Building Societies (Amendment) Bill 2006, for example, strikes me as not being as urgent as the citizens' information legislation the Minister must pass to address advocacy for those with disabilities. Is the Government reflecting on priorities and can it state why it would choose the Building Societies (Amendment) Bill 2006 over that dealing with disabilities and citizens' information? I view the Building Societies (Amendment) Bill 2006 as benefitting one building society and several very high-up people in it.
