Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

When will the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill be published? I ask this against the backdrop of the fiasco at Ulster Bank which has been a disaster for customers and, in particular, those depending on social welfare payments.

The Joint Committee on Investigations, Oversight and Petitions was heralded as a great innovation by the Government. It signed off on its Standing Orders last January and I understand they cannot have a legal framework until a motion is brought before the Dáil. When will this motion be forthcoming? Will it be brought before the Dáil before the end of the session?
