Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The workers legislation mentioned by the Deputy is on the C list. The heads of the Bill have not yet been presented to the Government. The question of the Vita Cortex plant was raised as a Topical Issue. I am aware of the report given under the direction of the Ceann Comhairle on the discussion with the different Deputies and hope the matter can be resolved. I do not like to see workers having to do what the workers in Cork have had to do. I hope the matter can be resolved and to that end, the machinery of government is obviously available.

On the consultations on the constitutional convention and the alleged abuse in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, I hope to make arrangements for meetings with Opposition leaders shortly.
