Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I wish to raise two items of promised legislation. Last week, I asked the Tánaiste for an update on the national vetting bureau Bill which the Taoiseach indicated previously was of utmost importance and was being worked upon with a view to bringing to the House at an early stage. I was informed by the Tánaiste that the Bill was not ready yet. Would it be possible to find out at this stage perhaps when the Bill is likely to be ready, whether it is still a priority or if it has been relegated?
