Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Bill will be seen as headline legislation throughout Europe and I note that the United States has marched ahead since the Enron scandal. The legislation has been carefully thought out. I pay tribute to Senator O'Toole for his role in that regard and to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the officials, the Tánaiste for taking the decision and to the Minister of State who is going to deal with it from now on. It is a worthwhile Bill and I look forward very much to being in the House for the Committee Stage debate.
