Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will abide by the ruling of the Ceann Comhairle. The purpose of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Bill, No. 32, is to consolidate 17 items of legislation into one statute. Yesterday there was a discussion on inland fisheries and regional fishery boards, on which this Bill has a bearing. Publication is expected in mid-2008. Does the Taoiseach have a more precise time?

The Petroleum Exploration and Extraction (Safety) Bill, No. 33, is a matter of considerable importance in view of energy security and reserves. When will the heads of the Bill be approved and the Bill published?
