Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Dhá cheist faoi reachtaíocht atá fógartha. I note the two official reports on the €3.6 billion discrepancy in the Government's debt figures have recommended that the responsibility for compiling these statistics should rest with one agency, the Central Statistics Office, rather than being shared with the Department of Finance. What is the Government's view of this recommendation and is there a plan to introduce legislation to deal with it? Is legislation required?

Following last week's referendum, will the Government indicate when it intends to bring forward the fiscal responsibility Bill?
