Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

What are the arrangements for Dáil sittings between now and the referendum on the Lisbon treaty on 12 June? The Government seems to be of the opinion that the Dáil should rise for two full weeks before the referendum.

I read a report yesterday about a mother whose daughter was killed when the car in which she was travelling crashed. The mother called for approval for hospital medics to take blood samples from drivers. There was an agreed Dáil motion to produce legislation on this issue last October, arising from what is known as Duggan's law. Is there any sign of that legislation to deal with taking blood samples at crash scenes by hospital medics?
