Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I do not think there is any prospect of Northern Ireland taking over Cavan-Monaghan. The Ceann Comhairle can relax.

Six years ago today, on behalf of the Labour Party, I introduced the Whistleblowers Bill which the Government of the day accepted and it was passed on Second Stage. At that time the then Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy O'Donoghue, told the House that much of his time was preoccupied with considering whether he would bring forward an amendment on Committee Stage. What is the position of the Bill now?
