Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

They are at an advanced stage of preparation and, strictly speaking, should all be published this session. The intention is to get them all published. We rarely get them all out, but we get as near as we can. The fines Bill will provide for updating the indexation of fines and related matters and will be taken this session. I understand the education grants legislation will be taken later this year. The Minister has announced a number of new initiatives in the Irish language area in which she is actively engaged in implementing. The report is being translated into Irish and will be completed by the end of May.
