Significant progress has been made by the Government in merging bodies and abolishing quangos since it came into office, but it does not get a great deal of publicity. We have created considerable savings for the taxpaying general public. When can we expect the Tailte Éireann Bill to merge the Property Registration Authority, the Valuation Office and Ordnance Survey Ireland into one body? He might consider a midlands location as the new headquarters for such a body.

We launched the midlands programme for action last week. I am sure Deputy Bannon can feed his request into that. The report is based on the strengths and weaknesses involved. The Bill will not come before the House until the second half of the year.
