Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

On the legislation that may arise with regard to the peace dividend, if I can say that, in Northern Ireland, has any progress been made on the register of persons considered unsafe to work with children Bill? No date is provided for it but that did not stop other Bills being published although they are very much on the slow track or may not even see the light of day. Will a date be set for publication of the Bill so there is some indication that the Government is taking the matter seriously?

On another matter that needs to be taken seriously, will the Tánaiste lend his support to the request from my party for a debate on the Stern report on climate change?
