As the Deputy noted, the child family support agency Bill is very important legislation. The Office of the Attorney General is working very hard on what is, as the Deputy will understand, a significant, large and complex Bill. While I am not in a position to provide a date for its introduction, the legislation is urgent and is being worked on with urgency.

On the legislation on adoption arising as a consequence of the children's rights referendum, this Bill is also being worked on and I understand it is the Minister's intention to have it before the House in the new year.
