Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

When he was Minister for Finance, the Taoiseach promised that the deposit protection scheme, protecting depositors in banks, would be reformed.

When will we see legislation in this regard? Does the Taoiseach agree there is considerable urgency attached to this issue in the light of the British changes?
