Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

The three Departments are now preparing the relevant heads of the Bill and they will have agreed the heads shortly. The Attorney General has taken a personal interest in the matter, as Deputy Stagg outlined. The Bill will then have to be drafted as a matter of urgency. With regard to the lead Department, the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform is the current lead Department. I will draw Deputy Stagg's views to the attention of the Government.
