Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

The intention of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform is to have legislation before the Cabinet on 6 or 7 June that week. The Dáil will not be in session that week. If it is approved by Government at that time, I am sure Deputies would like to see it for at least a few days before we debate it in the House. Therefore, assuming it goes through Cabinet on 6 or 7 June, we could have it in the House the following week.
