Charlie McConalogue (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister for her response. As we are now six months into this Government, it is very important that the legislation to complete the establishment of the Department and the transfer of powers from other Departments proceeds as quickly as possible. When does the Minister expect that the work she has outlined in her response will be completed? The Act establishing the child and family support agency will be key to the operation of the Department. Where does that stand currently and when will the Bill be published and go through the Dáil?
