Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The Central Bank (No. 2) Bill will be brought forward next year and the Central Bank (Consolidation) Bill will follow. I have to make an urgent telephone call at 12.30 p.m. so if it is possible, I would like to be excused. The Tánaiste will take the rest of the Order of Business.
