Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Would it be possible to generate some enthusiasm with regard to introducing legislation to provide for the protection and exchange of information related to the endangerment, sexual exploitation or abuse or risk to children? Publication of legislation is expected in 2010. However, this is a matter of urgency and would it be possible to introduce it sooner?

The Taoiseach indicated previously that work was in hand on the company law consolidation and reform Bill. What progress has been made on this and can the Tánaiste indicate when it may come to the House? The information we have so far is that publication is expected but that it is not possible to indicate when we can expect it.
