Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I would like to ask about the assisted human reproduction Bill. Following a court case some months ago a commitment was given by the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, that legislation would be introduced to regulate in vitro fertilisation and research on and the destruction of embryos, etc. That commitment was given by the Minister but it does not appear in the Government's legislative programme. Is it still intended to introduce legislation during the term of the Government to deal with that issue?
