Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I have already explained to a previous Deputy that issues that arise are being discussed by the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, and the Department of Justice and Law Reform. That is being handled as a matter of priority. It is hoped that the Minister of State will be able to bring heads of a Bill to the Government soon. That is the up-to-date information and any further information should be sought from the line Minister of State.
