Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

On No. 4, the Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005, I understand the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission is setting up a sub-committee to examine in the context of future elections the questions that may arise regarding the use of the facilities of the Houses of the Oireachtas by Members, Senators and Ministers in their Departments. As this Bill will not be able to take account of that sub-committee's work and any recommendations it may make, how is it intended to deal with this issue because this area needs clarification?

I understand from an internal report on bullying at the Galway hospice that a serious problem exists. When will the nurses (amendment) Bill, dealing with the regulation of nurses, come before the House?
