Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

One of the crucial issues for the Government was to get a handle on and produce the Personal Insolvency Bill. The detail of that has been published and I understand it is coming into the House on Thursday this week to start that process. There are a number of other pressing pieces of legislation. It depends on when the Deputy wants the House to rise for the summer. The House has been sitting late now for quite a number of weeks and I would like to think we will continue that to get as much of this done as we can. There are some serious Bills here. The Whips' meeting could discuss the schedule. I would like to get as much done as we can. Clearly, in the interests of all those caught in negative equity and mortgage arrears, it is important to get through as much of the Personal Insolvency Bill on Second Stage as we can. The Whip will outline both this week and next week how we can adhere to that schedule.
