Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am not aware of the debate which took place but I take it that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Micheál Martin, and other Government spokespersons were talking about the general regulatory review that is being undertaken at present. If that is the case, the first report on that is due in July. I am not aware of any impending legislation coming before the Cabinet in terms of heads of a Bill concerning the specific matter raised by the Deputy. I can only take the matter up with the relevant Minister and ask him to relay to the Deputy information on the present position.
