Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

These things are related, as the Deputy points out. I suggest he wait until we have a set of proposals from the Minister of State at the end of the month, at which time I will be able to provide a more accurate read on the timeline for legislation. I do not know what spokesperson was talking about an eight-month period. There is a bottleneck which we must discuss and which is affecting the range of legislation we can get through between the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel and individual Departments. I will provide the House with an update when the Minister of State reports back. His proposals will include the legislation Deputy Martin mentioned.
