Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The health information Bill will be introduced next year. There is no date for the Garda Síochána Bill. The VAT (consolidation) Bill is a matter for next year as well. The Deputy will have many opportunities to put the issues of his constituency between now and then, he does not have to wait for the legislation. The budget and Estimates will provide an opportunity to do that.
