Friendly societies legislation
Deputy O’Reilly asks for progress on legislation benefiting insurance co-operatives, group water schemes and community groups; the Taoiseach hopes to publish it this session.
On promised legislation, when is it proposed to take the friendly societies and industrial and provident societies (miscellaneous provisions) Bill? I ask because it will have a positive implication for insurance co-operatives, group water schemes and theatre restoration groups. For example, in my constituency, 18,500 people depend on 28 private group water schemes and it is very important for those people that this legislation goes through.
