Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

The commitment is to publish the Bills in the A list before the start of the next session. The defamation Bill, for example, will be discussed at the Government meeting next week. Several of these will be published between now and the next session.

I will be bringing the heads of the pharmacy Bills to the Government in May. It is hoped we will have the legislation later this year. I am hoping to have it before the summer session. If not, it will be in the autumn session.
