Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I ask the Taoiseach for clarity regarding the legislation to establish the National Asset Management Agency. It was first announced on 7 April, the day of the announcement of the supplementary budget. We were told on that occasion that the legislation would be produced as a matter of urgency. Now it appears it is not clear as to whether it will be produced before the House rises for the summer recess, whether it will be introduced after the summer recess or whether the Dáil will be recalled to deal with it. Could the Taoiseach clear up the position regarding the legislation on NAMA? When exactly will it appear? When will it be dealt with in the House? Will it be dealt with before the summer recess? Will the House be recalled at some stage to deal with it or will it be dealt with after the summer recess?
