Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The heads of the animal health Bill were agreed some time ago, but I do not yet have a date for the legislation. In the past five or six weeks, I have acceded to requests for several debates. The Whips will have to reach agreement on how much time they might allocate. There is not much point in me agreeing to them if we cannot fit them in.
