Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I would like to ask the Tánaiste about two matters. The Tánaiste said she is committed to introducing legislation to address the request from the Director of Corporate Enforcement for amendments to existing legislation to strengthen his powers. What is the current status of that legislation and when can we expect to see it in the House?

What is the status of the covered institution oversight committee report from the committee to inquire into remuneration in financial institutions? Does the Government accept its findings? If so, does it intend to legislate to close the loophole which is allowing for abuses of pension regulations, as have been uncovered in financial institutions? When can we expect to see such legislation?
