Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

There will be a finance Bill in the normal way this session and it is intended that the Government will bring forward the fiscal responsibility Bill. It is not normal to comment on the content of legislation until it has been published, and it has not yet been published. The fiscal responsibility Bill has not yet been approved by Government. On mortgage debt, the legislation which will be most relevant will be the personal insolvency Bill and it is intended to have it before Government in the very near future.
