Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not have a date for the criminal procedure Bill. The local government reform Bill is a major piece of legislation that must be enacted this year because of the local elections next year and the transfer of responsibility to local authorities. Deputy Healy-Rae should not be concerned about local issues because they will be well looked after and there will be a clear line of responsibility allocated so that all those schemes that are well run now will be run even more effectively in the future.
