Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

----- I refer to the proposed legislation to consolidate the body of legislation relating to the Central Bank into a single statute, to address the question of necessary changes and enhancements to the regulatory functions of the Central Bank and to transfer ministerial responsibility for building societies from the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to the Minister for Finance. Surely this legislation must be urgent.
