Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

In the budget the Minister for Finance announced the amalgamation or abolition of a number of State agencies, which I understand will involve the amendment of approximately 17 Acts. Having asked previously if it was intended to make these amendments in one Bill or separately, I am still unclear as to what are the Government's intentions in that regard. What are the Government's plans for amending the legislation to allow for the amalgamation and abolition of the different bodies, as announced in the Budget Statement?
