Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

I want to ask about legislation that is promised but not listed. Last week the Taoiseach suggested that consideration was being given to the preparation of legislation which would confer independence on TG4. Is it the intention of this Government to bring legislation before the House in the lifetime of the existing Administration to establish TG4 as an independent entity? Has such a promise, which appears in An Agreed Programme for Government and in the electoral programmes of both Government parties, been abandoned?
