Áine Brady (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

I can inform the House that the Minister, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe, is in Brussels; the Minister of State, Deputy Kelleher, is in Poland; and the Minister of State, Deputy Conor Lenihan, is unavailable today. The Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, was due to take this Bill. Unfortunately, he was with Senator Kieran Phelan this morning so I was asked to substitute for him. I would like to express my sympathy to the family of the late Senator Phelan.
