Pádraig Rice (Cork South-Central, Social Democrats)

That is, I suppose, where I would move to. I am a new TD but I have worked in the Houses for a number of years. I was involved in adult safeguarding legislation that came through the Seanad in 2017, so eight years ago. It was quite a substantial Private Members' Bill that was published. The Law Reform Commission did work on it. What I would like to hear from the Minister of State and the Department is why this has taken so long. We had substantial cross-party support for that Private Members' Bill in 2017 and widespread agreement that it was needed but eight years later, we are still talking about heads of a Bill and drafting. Why the serious delay?
