Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I do not have information on Bills other than those relating to my Department but these could be discussed on the Order of Business. The Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Brian Lenihan, is dealing with the register and trying to co-ordinate work on the issue. I am not sure what stage it has reached.

We have set out the A list for this session, which runs until the start of the next session and, as always, covers the entire period. We have published a number of those Bills and they can be dealt with on the Order of Business, as necessary. We have published 147 Bills and enacted 148 vital Acts but, on this, I intend to deal with my particular areas of legislation.
