Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I could indicate much legislation that has remained on the Government's legislative programme since I was elected to the House, yet there is still no sign of a Second Stage debate on it. Of course, that begs the question as to what are the Government's legislative priorities. Why is a particular Bill pushed forward ahead of others? I found it curious that the press release the Minister of State issued in March was a verbatim copy of that issued by the Dublin Funds Industry Association. Perhaps some psychic process was involved between the Government and the association.
