Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I support the comments of the previous speaker with regard to the Child Care (Amendment) Bill. It is crucial legislation and we are keen to see it completed as quickly as possible given the "Prime Time" reports on the elderly. The list of published legislation which I received this morning included the Dublin Mayor Bill and the Biological Weapons Bill both of which, I am sure, are crucial tranches of legislation. However, when will we see the mental capacity Bill? It is a good deal more important than those two tranches of legislation.
