Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I agree with Deputy Kenny that a very small amount of legislation is emerging from this Government in its post-general election manifestation. Among the Bills we know will be published is the referendum Bill to deal with the EU treaty. When are we likely to see this Bill? Has the Government set a date for the referendum? Can we now take it there will not be a Bill in 2008 dealing with a referendum on children's rights?
