Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

It will be published when it is published.

On the NAMA legislation, the Taoiseach indicated yesterday this is a key priority for the Government. Work is ongoing on its preparation and we are doing our utmost to have it available as quickly as possible. If we can have it during this session then so be it. Every effort is being made to publish the legislation as quickly as possible.

On the rationalisation of agencies, I am aware the Taxi Regulator aspect is being facilitated in the Transport Bill before the House. In my legislative area, I would hope to have the legislation dealing with the NCA, National Consumer Agency, and the Competition Authority during this session if at all possible. As the Deputy will be aware we are carrying out an overall review of the Competition Authority in addition to the amalgamation. We will do our utmost to try to have it as quickly as possible. I can revert to the Deputy on the specifics of the others.
