Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The heads of the carbon fund Bill were approved in July and the Bill is on target for early 2007. There are 70 heads in the immigration and residence Bill and these have just been approved. The Bill is due in 2007 but I do not have a definite date on it. The Bill will update the law on immigration, residence and other matters relating to non-nationals. I understand the Minister will attend a meeting on the other issue raised.
