Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I join the Taoiseach and Deputy Kenny in expressing serious concern about what happened in Derry last night and I hope the Garda and PSNI are successful in finding out who was responsible, dealing with them and bringing them to justice. A significant amount of this type of activity has been building up for some time and it needs to be dealt with before it gets serious.

I refer to the local government (Dublin mayor and regional authority) Bill in the Government's legislative programme. When will the it be published? When does the Taoiseach intend that the House will deal with it? What is the estimated annual cost of this measure?
