That is the reason there are three Ministers working on the matter. They worked at it on a number of occasions during the summer holidays. The question is whether we want proper legislation brought to the House and that is the final decision to be made. The legislation will be enacted quickly. We had to await the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission and the heads of a Bill were prepared by the Department on that basis. The final decision will be made very soon.
