Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

There is relevant legislation and I am coming to it, but I have to develop my theme. The relevant legislation is the pharmacy (No. 2) Bill.

In light of recent events and in the absence of a Pauline conversion Bill, can the Tánaiste give an undertaking to the House to introduce this legislation to the House as a matter of urgency? In addition, for the assistance of the Green Party, the education patronage Bill also should be introduced. That would give everyone in the House an opportunity, Green Party Members included, to vote according to their convictions.
