We discussed this matter on Second Stage. We talked about pausing this current piece of work because there are other priority areas on which the particular unit that deals with this area feels that it needs to focus in the course of next year. As I explained to Deputy O'Callaghan at the time, Statute law revision is important work that has been ongoing for a number of years. There is more work still to do. Let us consider this particular Statute Law Revision Bill. It is the first time that we are considering Acts that were enacted by the Oireachtas. That is another important step in terms of cleaning up the Statute Book. There is further work to do in this area and it needs to be done. It has been paused for the moment to allow us to consider other priority areas.
