Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

The reference pricing for drugs Bill, listed for publication in 2011, was originally put forward by Government as a way to save money for the health budget which could be used on front line services, such as keeping hospital beds open, on home helps and so on. Obviously, that will not be in time for the current budgetary process but when will it be published and why has it been delayed for so long?

I refer to the Electoral (Amendment) Bill banning corporate donations which is on the C list. Will the Government rush that Bill through so that it is enacted before the election?
