Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am sure some are glad about that.

I ask the Taoiseach about two Bills. The water services Bill, which is to remove the prohibition on charging for domestic water, is due to be published in 2011. Can the Taoiseach indicate when it is likely to be published? Will it be early 2011 or what is the story?

The second is the national vetting bureau Bill. It appears as if there is a substantial backlog in the vetting of persons to work with children and particular categories. The Taoiseach will be aware of this. He might be able to indicate what sort of priority is being given to producing this Bill.
