The insolvency guidelines will be published very shortly by the personal insolvency agency, but I cannot give an exact date.

The Minister for Health gave a commitment that the first copy of the report referred to by the Deputy would be given to the husband of the late Savita Halappanavar, which is right and proper.

I understand that will happen soon, either tomorrow or before the weekend, and that the publication will take place shortly afterwards. It is only right and proper that the husband of the late Savita should be given the first copy and that is what will happen.

Work has proceeded on the Government's programme in respect of legislating for the X case. Although I am not in a position to give Deputy McDonald a date of publication of the Bill I can report later on the progress being made by the Minister following the information hearings held by the Joint Committee on Health and Children on this matter. It is part of the progress and path that I have set out on how this should be dealt with in a sensitive, comprehensive and understanding fashion.
