ESM amendment legislation

Summary

Pearse Doherty asked when ESM amendment legislation would be published and urged that debate not be guillotined; the Ceann Comhairle ruled the matter outside the Order of Business.

Tá trí cheist agam ar reachtaíocht atá fógraithe. Baineann an chéad cheist le Bille leasaithe an ESM, which the Minister informed me will be brought forward to allow for the burning of bondholders into the future and potential retroactive recapitalisation of the banks. When is that legislation due to be published given that there is a deadline by which all of the relevant legislation must be passed by member states? I hope the Government will commit to not guillotining the debate on that important legislation.

My second question relates to an issue which requires an intervention by Government and relates to the many citizens who cannot at this time obtain passports. The emergency service is not available to people for up to three days-----

I am sorry, Deputy, but that is not a matter for the Order of Business.
