I wish to raise two items. The first is on the same theme as that spoken about by my colleague, Deputy Troy. The Taoiseach might recall that last year he promised me faithfully that the consumer protection and competition Bill would appear before the end of the then session. We are now 12 months down the road. Could the Taoiseach give some indication of when the Bill will make its long-awaited appearance?

The Taoiseach will be aware that the Legal Services Regulation Bill is in committee at present. When will it come out of committee? When will the Government resolve its differences on the matter? The Taoiseach might consult with the Tánaiste and he might agree to withdraw his objections and allow the Bill to proceed.
