Housing and Central Bank Bills
Bernard Durkan asks about the housing Bill and a Central Bank consolidation Bill. The Taoiseach says the housing heads are nearing Government approval, while Central Bank consolidation must await completion of the supervision and enforcement legislation.
In view of the ever increasing numbers on local authority housing lists, what is the situation with the housing Bill? Have the heads of the Bill been approved and when is it likely to come before the House?
The Central Bank (consolidation) Bill has been on the list of promised legislation for some time. I presume the heads of the Bill have been discussed and approved by Cabinet so when will it come before the House?
Comment on this
The heads of the housing Bill are at an advanced stage and will come before the Government soon. It is a little while away but there has been a lot of work done to finalise it.
The Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill is currently on Second Stage and must be completed before there can be a consolidation Bill for the Central Bank.
