Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I realise we did say this. Today marks the presentation of the fourth Bill to a committee at heads stage for political observations. The Bill dealing with upward-only rent reviews is expected later this session, and the Minister for Justice and Equality is working on it as a priority. I would like to think we could have a normal process in which Bills whose heads have been approved by the Government are sent to Oireachtas committees for deliberation. Three Bills have been discussed already and a range of views were expressed, which has been beneficial to the Ministers concerned. That is the way we need to go. It is a matter of getting the process more clearly streamlined so that Ministers can send Bills to the committees at heads stage for political deliberation as a matter of course.
