Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

As for the company law Bill, that legislation contains 1,270 sections and a great deal of work has been under way in my Department. As soon as I am in a position to bring forward the legislation to this House, I will do so. On the issue of the financial services regulation Bill, there are 250 financial instruments and 50 Acts to be brought together, which constitutes a seismic amount of work.
