Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I would not like to limit the Tánaiste's time. I want to encourage him along the path. I presume the Broadcasting Bill was approved by Government in all parts. We got an abridged version, which has gone through the House, but the main part of the Bill remains to be debated. What are the intentions in that regard and has it been approved by the Cabinet?

The minerals development Bill has caused some discussion over the past year. Has that Bill been discussed or approved by Cabinet. It would be appropriate to talk about the monuments Bill at this stage in the legislative calendar. What progress has been made on that?
