I cannot say a specific month because I have not been informed of exactly when the heads of the Bill will be ready. They will certainly be ready this year and as early as possible. I will meet my officials regularly to get updates and to ensure that all the supports are in place and that the co-ordination required across government and across offices will take place to bring forward the general scheme as quickly as possible.
To answer the Deputy's core question, there is no reason whatsoever, subject to this Dáil lasting for the next couple of years or so, that we cannot enact this legislation. That is certainly the Government's intention and I am determined we will do that.
