Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I wish to raise two matters, the first of which relates to the issue raised by Deputy Gilmore. Are there any proposals to introduce amending legislation to end the practice of self-assessed performance-related bonuses not only for the CEO, but also for hospital managers given their abysmal failure in recent years?

The second matter also relates to promised legislation. Will the legislative programme published at the beginning of the session be revised in light of the revised programme for Government announced last weekend? In particular, will legislation promised in the revised programme for Government be brought forward? This includes legislation to reform residency rules to ensure that those who benefit from living in Ireland are subject to taxation in Ireland; legislation on a new system for financing local government; legislation on water charges; legislation to merge the Competition Authority and the National Consumer Agency; and the FÁS legislation to ensure greater accountability to the taxpayer.
