Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The programme of legislation the Chief Whip presented last week contains three Bills related to the Finance Bill and the outworking of budget 2011. These include the Bretton Woods Agreements (Amendment) Bill, which is before us today. There are 15 other Bills listed. In his commentary on this last week, the Taoiseach singled out the NTMA (amendment) Bill. Has the Taoiseach, with Cabinet colleagues, prioritised any of that list of 15 Bills to be brought forward within whatever weeks remain of the current Dáil? Can the Taoiseach give us an update on the status of any of the other 15 Bills and is he determined to see any of them brought forward before the Dáil dissolves?
