Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I must revert to the Deputy as to when it is envisaged the Act will be commenced as unfortunately, I do not have that information to hand. As for the other matter, I stated that the date for rising will be fixed on Thursday and that the intention is that Members should come back on a date prior to those on which they have returned over the past ten or 15 years. It probably will be in the third week of September or rather, the third week of January.
