Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

My final point relates to the programme of legislation, which now validly is within the ambit of the Order of Business. Is the Taoiseach aware that since the general election in 2007, the Government thus far has published 44 Bills, of which 38 have been enacted? Is he aware that at the equivalent point in the life of the 29th Dáil, the Government had published 65 Bills, of which 58 had been enacted? The obvious message relayed by those statistics is that the Government and all Departments are operating at less than 66% of the performance that applied in the previous Dáil.
