Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

The Government is committed, or at least it stated a commitment, to restore the Act to its status before 2003 and to extend its remit to other public bodies, and the Taoiseach has just repeated that commitment. Will he update us on the progress that has been made thus far in introducing legislation to broaden the remit of the Act? Will he tell us the bodies to which the remit of the Act will apply? When does he expect legislation to come forward? Is the progress of this legislation being delayed because of the relationship with the demands and requirements of the EU-IMF?
