I ask about two further pieces of health legislation. The first is the Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2012 which we were told last year was a priority piece of legislation. It went through the Seanad in September so why has it not been produced in the Dáil? Is there a reason the legislation is being held back? The second issue is the promised Government alcohol strategy, which the Tánaiste earlier indicated we would have before Christmas. When can we expect to see that strategy and the public health legislation to give effect to it?
