Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Government seems to have a problem in bringing forward legislation. In recent weeks there have been a series of statements to which I do not object. The Tánaiste said last night that Members should speak in the House on issues of importance. I put the Tánaiste on notice that in future if the Government intends to bring in a series of statements, there should be a motion from the Government rather than bland and endless statements on whatever the issue may be? The Government, for example, should put forward a motion on drugs to allow the House an opportunity to have a real debate on the issue.
