Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

There are two Bills: the companies (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, which has 20 heads; and the companies Bill which has more than 1,270 heads. The heads of that Bill were approved on 25 July 2007. It is expected to be published later this year. It is an enormous Bill. The companies (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, which deals with the extension to 2020 the period for which companies can present their accounts in accordance with American generally accepted accounting principles, will also be published later this year.
