Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The Ombudsman (amendment) Bill has 18 heads. They have all been completed and work has progressed satisfactorily on the legislation. It is due for introduction in the spring session.

The heads of the carbon fund Bill were approved just before the summer break at the end of July. The Bill is still listed for early 2007. It is with the Parliamentary Counsel at present.
