Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

In the revised legislative programme to appear after the recess will the Taoiseach indicate those outstanding international conventions the Government proposes to ratify? In particular, is it the intention of the incoming Government to ratify the United Nations convention against corruption, given the previous Government's decision that there were no circumstances in which it intended to ratify the convention? Will the Taoiseach indicate when and if the UN convention against corruption will be ratified as indicated in the Government's white paper on overseas development aid?
