Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I refer the Deputy to the budgetary measures that have been announced. There is the finance Bill, some pensions legislation and also some betting legislation. That can all be done during the course of the first session when we return. There are also the banking issues. There is important work to be done by the House in a reasonable timeframe and with proper and due consideration. Other legislation that is at an advanced stage of preparation and approval by Cabinet will also be introduced in due course.
