Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Minister had no objection to the Private Members' Bill. Most of the details, or certainly elements of the Bill, were published on 24 April, as the Deputy is aware. The Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill is awaiting Committee Stage. The amendments to the Regulation of Debt Management Advisors Bill 2011 can be discussed on Committee Stage and incorporated into it. I expect the personal insolvency Bill to be published by June and would like to see it passed as quickly as possible, although I can tell the Deputy it is quite complex. I expect it will be early autumn before we move through the process of dealing with it. I hope, however, that it will be concluded by early autumn, but I do not want to lock myself into this because there will be much discussion and comment on the Bill when it is published. Believe me, a great deal of complicated work has been done on it.
