Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am bringing the factual position to the attention of the House based on a question which was put to me. The draft scheme is being finalised in light of responses received as a result of the circulation of the Bill to Departments and the Attorney General for their observations. It will be brought before the Government shortly, where it will be discussed. If it is approved, it will be published. I cannot anticipate that until it actually happens.
