Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Can the Taoiseach indicate what Bills are likely to be published during the forthcoming recess? A number of Bills have been referred to that were to have been published during the course of this Dáil session but obviously will not be. However, I understand a number of Bills will be published during the summer recess and the Taoiseach should give an indication in this regard. I refer to the commitment in the programme for Government to transfer foreshore licensing to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and to integrate it with the planning process. In view of the energy requirements and indications of serious investment, what is the status of that commitment and will such a transfer and integration require legislation?
