Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I assure Deputy Stagg that I look forward to the publication of the Bill as much as he does. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform is co-ordinating efforts to draw up the legislation. This is not a simple matter to deal with, but I would like the legislation to be published as soon as possible. The Cabinet discusses the matter every week but I cannot be any more specific with regard to a publication date.
