Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

——a legislative committee meeting will be held at 12 o'clock. Once we complete this legislation, we will turn to the financial situation after the budget, which will take some time to deal with. A new Finance Bill will have to be completed but in appreciation of what the Deputy has said, I can advise the Minister that it might be best to expedite this legislation. It is a matter for the Government to determine when legislation should be brought forward but I accept the Deputy's point.
