Hildegarde Naughton (Galway West, Fine Gael)

The Minister, Deputy Foley, dealt with the Bill in the Seanad. A review is taking place at the moment. It is not that we object to the Bill. In fact, that was part of my conversations when I was at the UN with the Australian minister. We want to do this, but a review is under way. A pilot was put in place and we want to see how it is has worked. We want to make sure that we get it right.

In my discussion with the Australian minister, there were positives and negatives, and what might work in one country might not work here. We want to make sure that we get it right. There is a commitment to it.
