Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I am sorry but this is not business as usual and there is a logic to why I am asking this. We have two Bills to which the Government has obviously given consideration. Have the heads of the Bills been approved by the Government? Has the text of the Bills been approved by the Government? Will they be published this week? If the two Bills must be passed by the end of the session and must be introduced this week why do we not take Second Stage of both Bills on Friday and take Committee and Remaining Stages next week?
