Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Last Thursday I asked the Tánaiste about the publication of the animal health and welfare Bill and she replied it was not possible to indicate a date. In light of everything that has happened since over a single weekend, does the Taoiseach believe there is a prospect of fast-tracking this legislation in the interests not only of animal health and welfare but also public, consumer and end user health and welfare? When in 2009 will the public health (miscellaneous provisions) Bill be published?
