Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Regarding the legislation, I am informed by the Chief Whip that, unfortunately, we do not have a date for the legal costs Bill. We will have to consider how soon it can be brought forward. A good deal of legislation has had to be enacted in view of the economic and financial crisis which means that some Bills are not making the progress that would otherwise be the case.
