Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

The Gaeltacht Bill will provide for a redefinition of the Gaeltacht based on language planning criteria, reduce the size of the board of Údarás na Gaeltachta and dispense with Údarás na Gaeltachta elections. I have great reservations about this. Will the Taoiseach give us a clear indication of what the Government proposes to do with regard to the Bill?

The health information Bill is to provide a legislative framework for the better governance of health information in order to enhance individual patient care and safety and achieve wider health service goals, It is also to provide a streamlined structure for multi-site health research ethical approval. What are the Government's intentions with regard to this Bill?
