Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

It is hoped that the Curragh of Kildare Bill will be published next year. The Bill will provide for the establishment of a statutory body to manage the Curragh, with the exception of the military establishment at the Defence Forces training centre, and will update the existing Curragh of Kildare Acts. The designated land Bill, to which I think the Deputy referred, is due for publication next year.
