I intend to introduce rainy day fund legislation very shortly. The Bill has been drafted, and I am now seeking the Government's approval for its publication and presentation to Dáil Éireann.

It is my intention to commence second stage on this Bill at the beginning of the Autumn session, at which time I look forward to discussing my policy approach and how it takes account of Ireland's economic vulnerabilities and of our obligations under national and EU law.
