Séamus Kirk (Louth, Ceann Comhairle)

We cannot have a debate on the Order of Business. It is inappropriate.

The second issue I wish to raise is the Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2009 which was passed in the Seanad on 6 May. It is a critical item of legislation which it is hoped will guarantee after care for children in State care post their 18th birthday where that need presents. When will the Child Care (Amendment) Bill come before the Dáil now that it has completed its passage through the Seanad?

There is great concern across the State among people who are involved in community development projects that they have been summoned to a special seminar on 10 June when it will be outlined to them how they will be able to go about transferring the assets and liabilities of their respective projects to the partnership companies.
