I had a quick look through the various items of legislation that have been passed by the Minister's Department since he has come into office. He might tell us - if he does not have the answer to hand today he might send it on to me - when he commenced the operation of the legislation providing for national lottery regulator. If he does not have the answer to that on file with him he might forward it to me. The lottery has now been privatised and the legislation in that respect provides for the regulator.

The Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013 was to threaten public servants to pass the Haddington Road agreement.

Now that the agreement is in place, has the Minister implemented all the measures within that Act, or are they in abeyance, ready to be implemented at a later date if, as the Minister or perhaps some of his colleagues might predict, public servants do not adhere to the agreement?

Will the Minister comment on the status of the Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures) Act 2013 in the context of the failure thus far to initiate a banking inquiry?
