Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand the social housing Bill will be introduced in this session. The heads of the George Mitchell scholarship fund Bill have not yet been prepared. As it is on the C list, I would say that it will not be introduced until later this year, at the earliest. The fund is in operation at the moment anyway. The Office of the Attorney General is trying to work through some legal issues, as opposed to constitutional issues, which have to be ironed out in respect of the third Bill mentioned by the Deputy.
