Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I confirm to Deputy Kenny that the intention is to have a Bill. There would be little point in meeting without a Bill to pass legislation. The Cabinet is meeting this afternoon and, perhaps, the matter will be clearer when the Whips meet at 7 p.m. on the logistics. I hope we can have agreement from all sides. That would be useful and helpful and I accept what the Deputies opposite have said. The intention is for the Dáil to meet on Wednesday and, if it is necessary also to meet on Thursday, that will happen.
