Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

In light of all the discussion about reductions in social welfare and the fact that those on blind disability pensions had their allowance cut last year, will the Taoiseach explain why the legal costs Bill is still at No. 78 on the legislative programme? Will he ensure that legislation is brought forward?

Second, in view of the ongoing difficulties of small industries, particularly co-operatives, when will the industrial and provident societies and friendly societies (miscellaneous provisions) Bill be brought forward to introduce improvements in regulations?

Third, there have been many promises about the number of hectares of forestry that will be planted.
