Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

We are working on two Bills. The Central Bank (consolidation) Bill is a large project and will be published towards the end of the year. Another Bill will come in this or in the next session to deal with some important and immediate reforms in integrating the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority model with the Central Bank one to form a Central Bank commission, reforms which the Minister for Finance wishes to undertake.
