Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

The friendly societies and industrial and provident societies (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is promised. Have the heads of the Bill been discussed in Cabinet and when is it expected the Bill will come before the House for Second Stage? I have a similar question with regard to the mediation Bill which has been promised. This Bill will provide for mediation as a viable, effective and efficient alternative to court proceedings. Has that been discussed and approved by Cabinet and when can we expect the Bill to come before the House?
