Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The fiscal responsibility Bill is No. 12 on the list of legislation which was to be published this session. To be truthful, however, it is being shoved back a bit because of the time-limited requirements of the IMF-EU deal with regard to a number of other Bills across a range of sectors. I have referred to these before. To be straight about it, while it is listed at No. 12, it will probably not be published this session because other Bills are listed as conditions of the IMF-EU bailout deal.
