Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

Will the Minister provide a flavour of the outline proposals? I understand they have been discussed informally with some representative organisations of business, yet the Oireachtas has not had sight of them. Are the Minister and Attorney General singing from the same hymn sheet on this issue or are there differences of opinion between them, significant or otherwise? The question was tabled before the legislative schedule was published. When does the Minister expect the proposed changes to hit the street, as it were? In other words, when will traders who are suffering at present see the results on their bottom line?
