Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I advise Deputy McGrath to be careful about Members of the House winding him up about the local government Bill. The heads of the local government Bill are being drafted and it is expected that it will be published during the current session. The Animal Health and Welfare Bill has finished in the Seanad and is going for signature. As regards raising the fodder crisis and the great difficulties farmers face, I confess that I am surprised Deputy McGrath did not raise the matter on Leaders' Questions this morning.
