Central Bank consolidation Bill
Mattie McGrath asks when the Central Bank consolidation Bill will address banks and receivers; the Taoiseach says it depends on completing the Central Bank supervision and enforcement legislation.
I also ask about the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill given that there are receivers up and down the country. I met approximately 50 people protesting outside a receiver's premises on St. Stephen's Green-----

I do not want a debate. I want to know when the Bill will come in.

The Central Bank (consolidation) Bill cannot come in until the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill, which is on Report Stage, is dealt with. The Children First Bill is down for this session. However, significant legal and operational matters are under discussion in the Department about it. It may not make it through for publication in this session. If not, it will be early next session.
