Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand that it is hoped Second Stage of the Adoption Bill would be taken some time in November. On the second matter, I would have to revert to the Deputy on whether any significance can be attached to the omission of words that were previously in the Bill. We do not have a date for that Bill. I will check the position and revert to the Deputy by correspondence.
