Whatever happened to the much lauded State inventory of assets that was to be conducted, or perhaps was conducted, by the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, a year or more ago? It was announced with much fanfare at the time and we all looked forward to it. In response to a request I made at the time, the Leader promised that the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, would come to the House at a suitable time to speak to us about it. This relates to a study in regard to a proposed sell-off of whatever assets would have been surplus to requirements. I would like to hear what stage it is at.

When is it intended to take Report Stage of the Civil Registration Bill? What, if any, amendments might it contain? I believe that gets around the issue.
