Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

What is the position regarding the proposed NAMA legislation? We were promised that we would have the heads of the Bill before the House rises for the summer. If the Dáil sits for an extra week from 2 July, does the Taoiseach propose to have the Bill brought before the House in that time? We were also promised urgent legislation to deal with a new system of banking regulation. Will we have the heads of the Bill over the summer or will the legislation be passed in the summer? Obviously, the legislation will be of some importance in restoring Ireland's financial reputation.
