Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am not aware of the details of the matter but the Government will of course consider any Private Members' Bill that is brought forward. It is the entitlement of every Member of the House to bring forward such legislation and, where it has merit and is in line with Government policy, it can be considered for a common approach, if possible. I cannot give an undertaking to the Deputy, however.
