Clare Daly (Dublin North, Socialist Party)

I want to know why the Taoiseach cannot advise us on a timescale for the promised legislation to deal with the judgments in A, B and C. It is in the programme for Government and we are under a spotlight from the European Court of Justice. The Government's delay is causing serious problems for thousands of Irish women. I do not accept the Taoiseach's response to Deputy Joan Collins. We need an accurate appraisal of when the legislation will be introduced.

I would also like to know the timescale for the animal (health and welfare) Bill and whether that legislation will propose a ban on fur farming.
