Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

With regard to two promised pieces of legislation in the finance area, the asset covered securities (amendment) Bill and the markets in financial instruments Bill were both signalled in the previous legislative programme for 2006. They have now both been deferred until mid-2007. Is it seriously intended to bring forward both of these in the period prior to the general election and the dissolution of this Dáil? The Bills in question are the asset covered securities (amendment) Bill and the markets in financial instruments Bill.
