Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I will bring the Deputy's opinions to the Minister, Deputy Brian Lenihan, but I am sure the Deputy has already articulated them directly. Sometimes, enabling provisions are enacted with commencement order provisions to ensure that elements are put in place sufficiently ahead of proceeding. I do not have the details to hand as to why the situation would be the case as outlined, but I will ask the Minister to let the Deputy know.
