Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In May 2007, when the Taoiseach was Minister for Finance, he established the financial legislation advisory forum. That was to consolidate and modernise legislation governing financial regulation. The objective was to provide expert advice, support and drafting assistance in the preparation of a Bill that was to streamline the legal framework for financial services regulation. The Bill was to be published within two years of the forum being established. When I asked the Taoiseach about this on the last occasion, he said it would be dealt with after the NAMA legislation. What is the status of the Bill now? Will it be brought forward or will it be published and brought into the House?
