Last week the Minister for Justice and Law Reform, Deputy Shatter, announced his intention to introduce a Bill aimed at speeding up investigations which are currently under way, including those into Anglo Irish Bank. The Bill would apparently include detailed measures relating to the production of documents required during an investigation into and prosecution of complex crimes - something I am sure we will all welcome. Could we have an indication of when the Bill is likely to be introduced in the House?

As the Taoiseach is aware, the agreement with the EU and the IMF requires the establishment of a budgetary advisory council by the end of the second quarter of this year. Is it still the Government's intention to proceed with that and, if so, does it require legislation?
