Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I wish to ask about a number of Bills and the prioritisation that might be given by Government in the short time we have available. Is the Tánaiste confident sufficient time will be made available for all Stages of Bills such as the Defamation Bill and the Ethics in Public Office Bill? Will the Child Care (Amendment) Bill come back for its Final Stages?

I understand the long-awaited charities Bill will be published in the coming days. Given its size, we have no hope of getting through all its Stages. Will the Government at least consider opening it up for a Second Stage debate before the Dáil finally dissolves?
