Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I do not doubt that when the next Dáil session commences, some of the Bills which are currently on section A of the legislative list will still be on section A of the list. Deputies asked in the House about the status of the Charities Bill 2007 on numerous occasions before it was finally considered and passed. We were told that the delay in that instance was caused by problems in the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. How many draftspeople in that office are putting Bills together at present?
