Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

There is no confusion. The question of legislation only arises when the Government has made a decision. The Government has not made a decision on any of these matters. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government has set out the proposals under consideration. When he has concluded his consideration and brings a recommendation to Government, a decision will be made. If the question of legislation arises from that decision, it will be prepared and brought before the House.
