Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

The legislation about which the Deputy asked is to be taken this session. The scheme will follow from that. I understand that €400 million has been provided for it in this year's Estimates. I will contact the Deputy regarding the Barr report, since I do not know when it is to be published. I do not know what legislation the Deputy was inquiring about regarding the last matter, but I understand legal advice was taken at the time.
