The Parliamentary Labour Party agreed yesterday in a Private Members' legislative initiative, similar to what the Deputy has brought forward and similar to what Senator Averil Power has brought forward, that it will, I understand, be taken in the Private Members' slot in the Seanad on 12 March. I hope it will progress from there. The legislation needs to be changed fairly soon. It is a commitment in the programme for Government. There is cross-party support for it. We will debate the components of the Bill as it comes through both Houses but I want to get it on the Statute Book as quickly as possible.
