Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Can the Tánaiste give information on whether the pharmacy (No. 2) Bill, which is urgently and anxiously awaited by the profession, might be brought forward at an earlier date than currently indicated?

The postal miscellaneous services Bill was promised this time last year but was suddenly and mysteriously removed from the Order Paper. Will the Tánaiste carry out an investigation to determine where it might have landed, and whether it might be restored to the Order Paper before all the post offices are allowed to drift and die on the vine?
