Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

The Minister said it would be at the end of last week but nothing has happened yet.

When the announcements about the Central Bank Bill were made, it was indicated the consumer part of the regulator's function would go to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the proposed body after the Competition Authority and the National Consumer Agency merge. Has there been a change on this decision with consumer affairs to be dealt with by the Central Bank? Has the Government a timeframe on when we might see a White Paper or legislation published in this regard?
