Companies Bill progress

Summary

Bruton asks the Taoiseach to help bring the long-delayed Companies Bill before the Dáil before the recess. The Taoiseach agrees it is desirable and says he has repeatedly urged the Seanad to expedite it.

John Bruton Mr. J. Bruton Fine Gael

I do not expect the Taoiseach to have answers about all the Bills which might be in the programme, but would he consider asking the Minister for Industry and Commerce to expedite the Companies Bill, published in 1986, which has been in the Seanad almost all that time? I acknowledge that the Taoiseach does not have complete control over the Seanad Order Paper, but would he try to have that Bill brought before the Dáil before the summer recess?

That would be very desirable. The Seanad are at section 90, and there are 189 sections. I have been in touch with the Seanad people a number of times to have it expedited and I will continue my efforts in this regard.
