I raise the very serious issue of female genital mutilation, FGM. I am reliably informed by some of the new communities in my constituency that it is being practised here. It is an incredible abuse of human rights. We were promised legislation. I raised this three weeks ago with the Tánaiste and she indicated that it would come up approximately at the end of this month. Can I get some confirmation in the dying days of this Government that it will at least publish the legislation?
