Ms Tríona Quill:

I thank the Senator for his kind remarks. On the timeframe, I know the Minister is anxious that the Bill would progress as soon as possible. She has indicated publicly that the expert group she is setting up should report back within 90 days. That would allow for any amendments that may arise to be taken on Committee Stage in the Oireachtas. We will be working with our colleagues in the Whip's office and with Oireachtas staff to see how the Bill can be progressed in the most efficient way possible. I know the Minister is anxious this would happen as well. It is difficult to give a precise date. We have to work out some of the variables, but I know the Minister is ambitious to get this done as soon as she can.
