Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The indication given by the Government when my party's Bill was voted down last year was that the heads of a Bill would be published by the end of March. While they appear to have been circulated to Government, we are entitled to hear what type of timescale the Government has for the production of the Bill. The Labour Party can reintroduce its Bill if the Taoiseach wishes. The Government gave a commitment to introduce a Bill and I would like some indication as to when it is likely to appear.
