Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I wish to raise three issues. The first concerns the register of persons who are considered unsafe to work with children. When will that matter be dealt with? It is an important issue that is relevant. Second, in light of the massive increase in fuel prices, when will the natural gas regulation Bill be introduced so that we will have an opportunity to discuss ways and means of dealing with that situation? Third, but by no means least, many groups are dependent on charity at present and all public representatives are asked daily about the funding of charities. When will the charities Bill be brought before the House? It would provide some control over illegitimate charities that are out to rip off the system.
