Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

With regard to the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill, it is not intended to withdraw section 4. Obviously, issues relating to amendments and so forth will be dealt with by the Minister in the normal way.

As regards the regulations arising from the waste water legislation, I do not have a date for their publication, but when a statutory instrument and regulations are made under any legislation they are laid before the House. That will happen as is normally the case.
