Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

The Government has indicated its intention to sell off State assets worth €3 billion. In March, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, committed to identifying what legislation and other measures would be needed to facilitate this proposal. Does the Government plan to bring forward such legislation and, if so, when can we expect its publication? The selling off of the State's wealth makes no sense whatsoever because these assets could be the engine of economic recovery.
