Further to an earlier question on the company law consolidation and reform Bill, I appreciate that there is much work involved in it. However, it has been long promised and is urgently needed in the current economic climate. There is an urgent need for consolidation, modernisation and reform of company law. It is not enough for the Tánaiste to say she will present it when she is in a position to do so. Will the Tánaiste give some indication of the timetable to which she is working? When will the heads of the Bill be agreed and when will the legislation be published?

When will the Minister for Finance be in a position to sign regulations to give effect to the Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) and Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices Act?
