Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

When I asked the Taoiseach yesterday about the legislation he plans to have enacted in this session, one of the Bills he mentioned was the Tribunals of Inquiry Bill 2005, which is the Bill that enables and empowers the Government to close down tribunals. I am sure the Minister of State, Deputy Sargent, will recall that when this Bill was initially published, the Green Party expressed strong opposition to it. I assume substantial amendments will be presented by the Government to the Bill to reflect the concerns expressed at the time by the Green Party. When is it proposed to publish those amendments and have them circulated to the House?
