Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The legislative priorities of the Government for the current Dáil session are set out in the legislation programme which was published on 16 April last. The Government will as usual publish its legislation programme at the beginning of each session throughout the remainder of the 31st Dáil.

With regard to my Department, the legislative priority will be the preparation of legislation to enable a referendum to be held on the abolition of the Seanad later in the year. That Bill will be published in this session.

My Department is also preparing proposals to place the NESC on a statutory basis, thereby dissolving the NESDO.
