Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

On promised legislation, will the Tánaiste indicate the progress to date on publication of the promised microfinance lending fund Bill, when there is agreement on the need for such a fund at the earliest opportunity? Also, apropos his reply to a question earlier, will he indicate whether the heads of the Bill have been visited to implement the recommendations in the joint Oireachtas committee second interim report on the constitutional amendment on children and protection of vulnerable persons against sexual exploitation and abuse, and the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill?
