Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I hope so. I understand I will have clearance from the Parliamentary Counsel to take the Bill to Cabinet in approximately two weeks. The intention thereafter is to publish it quickly and, with the co-operation of the Deputies opposite, to take it through before the summer. The Taoiseach made that clear to Deputy McManus earlier this week. I am quite determined to do that if I can.
