Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

As regards the second question raised by the Deputy, that Bill is currently down for debate in the Seanad and it will come to this House. On his first question, I have given a comprehensive answer to Deputy Joe Higgins. As regards the Children's Act, there are some sections that have not been fully enabled as yet. Perhaps the Deputy will get the details if he puts down a question for the Minister for Health and Children.
