Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

The Tánaiste's former Department had responsibility for the Foreshore (Amendment) Bill which is on the legislative list and, therefore, she will understand the need to reform our foreshore Acts. My understanding is that responsibility for foreshore is being transferred to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Is that the case and when are we likely to see that legislation?
