Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The order of the House has yet to be decided for next week but the Whips will have discussions on this matter. We are proceeding with the bilateral loans legislation and will provide adequate time for that. This course is appropriate and was requested two weeks ago. If there are other issues requiring further discussion, they can be facilitated in due course. However, I am not in a position to give a definitive answer with regard to the discussions that took place last week, as to whether legislation will be required. If it is required, it will be brought to the House. The issue of co-ordination can be discussed if we can agree time.
