Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The legislation on the National Pensions Reserve Fund will be published by the end of the week. To answer Deputy Gilmore, I expect the pensions levy legislation to be published tomorrow. The Minister for Finance is working on the legislation on banking regulation. He will come to Cabinet with proposals and as soon as they are adopted, we will proceed as quickly as possible with a legislative base for those agreed positions.
