Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

In answer to a recent parliamentary question I was given to understand that the legislation to amend the law on civil registration of deaths, births and marriages would be introduced by the end of the year - in fact it was being worked upon when I was in the Department. This deals with matters such as embassy marriages and the registration in this jurisdiction of deaths of Irish residents which occur abroad. Why is it not on the list of legislation for the Department of Social Protection? When will the legislation be published? At what stage is it? I could not find it anywhere on the list of legislation even though I am getting promises in response to parliamentary questions that we will have it by the end of the year.
