Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

In light of the fact that the cancer vaccination programme has been cancelled owing to the unavailability of funding, when will the legal costs Bill come before this House to enable us to find a way to cut the excessive costs of tribunals?

The fair deal legislation has been promised for the past two years. It has now been replaced by the nursing home support Bill which is extremely different from that originally promised. I understand the nursing home support Bill will come before the House next Thursday. Will the Minister assure me that ample time will be given to the debate on this Bill which is extremely different to the original legislation?
