I propose to take Questions Nos. 67 and 85 together.

As the Deputy is aware, during the course of the budget speech last October, my colleague the Minister for Finance announced the merger of the National Consumer Agency and the Competition Authority as part of the rationalisation of State Agencies. It is my intention to bring forward legislation during the course of 2009 to implement this merger.
