Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This day last week the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy John Gormley, who is rarely here and is not here now, said that legislation on the Dublin mayoralty, the Wildlife (Amendment) Bill and the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill would be passed by the House before the summer recess. One day later the Chief Whip released the list of legislation that will be passed before the summer recess and none of the three Bills were on it. It might have caused some palpitations somewhere along the line. I ask the Taoiseach to clarify the position regarding the Dublin mayoralty legislation, the Wildlife (Amendment) Bill and the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill.
