Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Apropos the ongoing anxiety concerning financial matters, will the Bretton Woods (amendment) (No. 2) and the European Financial Stability Facility (amendment) Bills be passed by both Houses? Is there a deadline by which time they should be passed?

The last Bill I wish to discuss is an interesting one, namely, No. 84 on the legislative list, the HSE governance Bill, to provide for the abolition of the board of the HSE. Have its heads been discussed at Cabinet level and when will it be published and laid before the House?
