Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The Tánaiste, who was briefed on this matter last week, informs me two separate proposals are being drafted, one in the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the other in the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Regarding whether they will get through the House, they are being worked on but time is probably very tight to see them being passed as legislation.
