Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

The communications Bill is at consultation stage. The Taoiseach and the Government recognise it will not be taken at an early stage. Arising from that, the Taoiseach and the Minister have agreed to take a section from the Bill and present a short Bill to the House to empower RTE to send signals to the Irish in Britain. The Taoiseach has promised this will be done quickly and the Opposition has undertaken to allow the Bill a rapid passage. Will the Bill be taken before Christmas?
