Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The compliance Bill has been published and there will be further consultation, presently, as there has not been a meeting of minds on this between employers and unions. I have given an undertaking that we will follow through during the summer and discussions will take place with the social partners. On the agencies Bill, as the Deputy knows, that matter has only been completed at European level. The text is awaited, and we shall hopefully proceed with that as quickly as possible, in the context of agreement between both sides, which I believe will happen.
