Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It is listed for early next year. With regard to interest rates, let me say again to the Deputy that the regulator is completely independent. If he tells the Government he needs extra powers in certain areas, it will deal with that. I have already said I want to see the interest rate decreases passed on. The Minister for Finance has been very vehement about that. Tomorrow, both banks will be attending meetings to deal with this matter and a number of others in respect of interest rate reductions-----
