Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

The Taoiseach referred earlier to the Defence (Amendment) Bill which is on the Government legislation list. It was due to be taken in the House tomorrow, but will not now be taken because of the rearranged schedule. When can we expect the Bill to be published? Has it been approved by Cabinet? If not we will be in the same situation next week, on Tuesday evening or Wednesday, with the Bill not published. Can the Taoiseach give an indication of when it will be published?
