Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach indicated last week that legislation would be introduced to facilitate proposals regarding the early childhood supplement. Can the Taoiseach indicate exactly when that legislation will be published and when it will be introduced to the Dáil? This legislation was signalled, legislation for the pension levy has been indicated, and other legislation is expected that was not part of the legislative programme put before Members a little over two weeks ago. This is our third week back in the Dáil. Many changes to the programme are now anticipated in the coming period. Would it not be appropriate to publish a supplementary legislative programme as a result of all these newly signalled measures the Government intends to introduce?
