Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The heads of the defamation Bill have been cleared by Government and the Bill has largely been drafted. Although I have not had an update for a few weeks, it is listed for this session. I will raise with the Government Whip the issue about making time for the McIver report. Deputy Noel Dempsey told me his report on the Corrib gas field will be published in late February or early March but I will check that.
