Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

When is a publication date expected for the legal services Bill and is there agreement at Cabinet level on the contents of the Bill? I notice in today's Questions Paper that a Deputy has tabled a question to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, about the awarding of a lottery licence in his constituency. The Deputy concerned was elected on a political reform ticket, but obviously that issue has been left behind. Is Deputy Howlin the Minister in charge of the national lottery?
