John Deasy (Waterford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I would like to ask the Taoiseach about the Houses of the Oireachtas inquiries Bill, which provides a framework for Oireachtas inquiries, including a banking inquiry. It is listed in section C of the Government's legislative programme, which means the heads of the Bill have not been approved by the Government. The Bill will probably not be dealt with until 2013, which will be five years after the bank guarantee of 2008. If a banking inquiry is to occur, as promised in the programme for Government, it needs to be given some legislative priority. If the inquiry is delayed further, there is a danger that it will lose its usefulness.
