Summary

Bernard J. Durkan asks about Cabinet approval and publication dates for the industrial tax agreements and credit guarantee Bills. The Taoiseach says neither has reached heads approval but will provide an update on preparatory work.

I refer to the industrial tax agreements Bill, which is important in the context of our image at home and abroad, and the credit guarantee Bill, which relates to the availability of credit. Have those Bills been cleared by Cabinet? When are they likely to come before the House?

Neither of these two Bills has reached the heads approval stage yet and, therefore, I cannot give an approximate date for publication. However, I will convey to the Deputy the scale of work that has been done to date in preparing the heads of the legislation.
