Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I have raised proposed legislation relating to the production of a DNA database many times. To what extent have the heads of the Bill been discussed? Has any progress been made in recent times?

Another Bill arises from the concerns expressed by the Director of Corporate Enforcement on the fallout from the downturn in the economy. He expressed his concerns about the lack of co-operation from some company directors. To what extent has the proposed companies consolidation (amendment) Bill been put on the fast burner? I recognise it is an extensive Bill. Is it possible to give some indication as to when it might be likely that some parts of it might be brought before the House?
