Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The carbon fund Bill is due early next year. The heads were completed in July and it has passed to the Office of Parliamentary Counsel for drafting. It is awaited from that office and hopefully it will be ready early next year.

The other issue is not listed but if there is work taking place in the Department, perhaps the Deputy should table a question on the matter to the Minister responsible.
