Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

As I stated, I will revert to the Deputy as to what is the position in respect of the recommendations to which he refers. I do not have the information to hand. The purpose of Question Time is to give the Deputy such information and I undertake to get it to ascertain where we stand on it. As the Deputy is aware, there are occasions on which legislation is brought forward quickly. Some of the arguments about this are that it is not brought forward quickly enough and detailed legislation is sought all the time by Members. However, I will check into the matter and will revert to the Deputy.
