Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

On promised legislation, if it is not a dull subject in the midst of the skittishness and gallows humour of the other side of the House, what is the Government's intention regarding the broadcasting and minerals development Bills, which are happily on the Order Paper? Given their urgency, is it intended to bring them before the House before the dissolution of the Dáil? What is likely to happen to the electricity (transfer of transmission assets) Bill? Will it be tabled in a rush of enthusiasm by the other side to pass it through the House before the election?
