Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

No. 115 on the Government's legislative programme, which is in the name of the Taoiseach, is a Bill in respect of which heads have yet to be approved by the Government. It deals with the abolition of the Seanad. Given that the Tánaiste has not been able to give a commitment on this matter and the Taoiseach has indicated the referendum on the abolition of the Seanad may not proceed this year, will the Government withdraw its legislative programme and correct the record? Will it clarify whether it is proceeding with this legislation?
