Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

On promised legislation, arising from comments made earlier, is the Taoiseach in a position to tell the House that it is the intention of the Government to have all Stages of the NAMA legislation enacted in both Houses before the summer recess, whenever that is? That is my first question.

Second, can I take it that the Government will bring forward the necessary referendum legislation to provide for a second referendum on the Lisbon treaty before the House rises, whenever we rise, in this session?

Third, in view of the fact that the Taoiseach's colleague, the Tánaiste, is present beside him, can we have an undertaking that all of the necessary domestic labour relations legislation, that arose out of the concerns that were expressed and which were instrumental and influential in terms of the defeat of the first referendum on the Lisbon treaty, will have been dealt with and enacted before the House rises, whenever that happens, in July?

I refer to three pieces of legislation, namely, the Bill to provide for NAMA, the referendum legislation and the domestic labour relations legislation. Will they be dealt with between now and the middle of July?
