Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The heads of the animal health Bill were drafted some time ago. Its purpose is to consolidate and update the legislation dealing with animal health and welfare. I do not have a date for when it will be ready. The nursing homes support Bill will be brought forward this year but I do not have a date. It is in the process of being drafted and will be introduced some time in 2007.
