David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

SI 280 of 2001 on vaccine trials is to be revoked by the Tánaiste. The former Minister, Deputy Martin, brought forward the statutory instrument with great urgency but, according to the courts, he did not have the power to do so. When will it be revoked?

The Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Brennan, was thinking out loud again over the weekend about encouraging people to work until they are 70 years of age. Will legislation be brought forward to enable that to happen? In light of the total opposition to the Disability Bill, will it be withdrawn?
