I welcome the Bill. There is a significant backlog in the Court of Appeal so obviously it is welcome that this is being addressed. We will support the Bill. We have no amendments and I imagine we will have none on Report Stage either.

A related matter arises concerning the courts and the Judiciary and so on. The Judicial Council Bill is proceeding to Report Stage this week in the Seanad. Does the Minister have any sense of when it may reach Second Stage in the Dáil, pending passage in the Seanad? Does the Minister have a timetable?
