The Department has been very proactive. Someone has been in contact with the clerk to say that Second Stage of the Bill is expected to come before the Dáil in the first week in November. We will probably try to schedule it sometime in mid to late November. The witnesses must provide feedback to us on when it is ready in order that we can get Second Stage under way because it is very important legislation. Perhaps once the legislation is published Mr. Spratt would provide us with a briefing note and we might be able to arrange a briefing session for members on where the Bill stands. I have no doubt he will be able to accommodate us in that regard.
