279 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance the status of the National Development Finance Agency Bill; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19837/02]
Last July, the Government decided to proceed with preparation of legislation to establish a national development finance agency, under the aegis of the National Treasury Management Agency, to advise on the financing of, and in certain limited circumstances raise finance for, public investment projects. I hope to have the legislation published shortly with a view to having the agency established by 1 January 2003.
