Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Regarding Nos. 56 to 58, inclusive, in section C of the Government's legislative programme, it is indicated that publication of No. 56 is expected in 2010 but that it is not possible to indicate when Nos. 57 and 58 will be published. Given the urgent need to introduce the legislation, will the Taoiseach inform the House whether it is deemed necessary and desirable to introduce it before it is expected to be brought in according to the legislative programme in view of the issues raised by Deputy Kenny on the Order of Business and the comments of various other Members over the past year in particular?
