Vol. 561 No. 4

Written Answers. - Legislative Programme.

Willie Penrose

Ceist:

129 Mr. Penrose asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment when she expects to introduce the promised legislation governing the auditing and accounting profession, especially having regard to the recent guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland designed to protect members against legal challenge from third parties who rely on audit reports; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4444/03]

I am pleased to report that the Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003 was published on 14 February 2003 and that it has been accorded priority status in the Government's legislative programme.
