Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

We will have it quite soon. We are trying to ensure when the Bill is published that it is not rushed with amendments railroaded through the House. We want to have a genuine discussion on it. We are trying to get the Bill right in the first instance, to have broad agreement from the social partners and a good debate in the House. It is very complex but the Government is committed not only under the Towards 2016 agreement but under the interim one arrived at last week.
