Nos. 5 to 8, inclusive, of the documents laid before the Dáil which are listed on today's Order Paper relate to the annual reports of CIE, Bus Éireann, Bus Átha Cliath and Iarnród Éireann. Would it be possible to have a debate on those reports in the House in the coming weeks? The Government and its predecessor have consistently slashed the public subvention to the companies concerned. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport seems to spend a great deal of time discussing everything but transport. Would it be possible to engage in a full-scale debate on the future of the public transport companies?

Will the forthcoming Central Bank (consolidation) Bill make provision in respect of the new EU banking supervision rules or is it intended to introduce separate legislation in respect of banking supervision?
