Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The Company Law Consolidation and Reform Bill is being worked on by me and the Department and we hope to have it available for consideration this year. It is a huge Bill and will take considerable time to deal with. Having spoken to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Finance and the Public Service, I know he is very anxious to facilitate a new means of considering it given that there are over 1,000 sections. It is very important legislation. The chairman has been more than forthcoming in supporting this position.
