Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The Minister has been concentrating on bringing forward the National Assets Management Agency Bill, which is detailed legislation. He has also indicated the reforms he proposes to bring forward on the regulatory side. The Deputy, more than most, will be aware of the workload involved in that regard. The legislation is being proceeded with as a matter of priority and will come to the House as soon as it is ready.
