I want to ask about the county enterprise boards dissolution legislation. Thousands of people are coming up to Dublin today from the country to protest. The Leader partnerships are being disbanded in addition to the county enterprise boards and are being taken under the wing of the county council. The council was instructed by the Department not to put members on the boards of those.

The second item I wish to raise concerns the Court of Appeal Bill 2014. Will the Taoiseach acknowledge that there are significant delays in the courts, which are about to rise in two weeks for the summer? Justice delayed is justice denied. People are surely entitled to recourse to the law. We had a referendum to have a new court. What is the position on that? Could the Taoiseach advise the House on the current position on the Bill?
