Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

What action has been taken to reintroduce traditional banking principles. For example, the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill and the financial services (miscellaneous provisions) Bill are listed for publication in 2010, although I asked about them on 2 February and 9 February. The Government programme also states it is not possible to indicate when the financial services regulation Bill will be published. Since a return to traditional banking has been a fundamental pillar of the Government's policy for the past two years, would it not be reasonable to give some indication as to when this pivotal legislation will be brought before the House?
