Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

My question is related to the issue raised by Deputy Kenny earlier. Last week I checked the number of Bills passed this year. While this may have changed since last week, my information is that six Bills have been passed this year. Approximately 50 were passed annually between 1999 and 2007. The end of this year's second session is close with only one remaining. If the House is not seen to be legislating, is it any wonder the public is insecure about powers going to Europe?
