Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

Could the Taoiseach tell us when the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme) and Remuneration Bill will come through the Dáil? Can he clarify that this Bill will deal with raising the retirement age for public service workers and reducing their pension entitlements?

Can the Taoiseach tell us exactly when the housing Bill, which is due to be published in 2012, will be published and introduced to the Dáil? Can he confirm that this Bill will give a legal underpinning to the new policies on social housing outlined in June and July, which are effectively doing away with direct provision of council housing?
