Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am still unclear on the legislative timelines. The Taoiseach indicated on the Order of Business to our spokesman, Deputy Troy, that the heads of the child and family agency Bill were approved by the Cabinet last November. It is now June and I am not clear as to whether the Bill will be published before the end of July. It may be useful to ask an all-party committee to consider that Bill and the Children First Bill to accelerate their preparation and tease out any issues that may be delaying publication. I do not know whether fundamental issues need to be addressed, but I am not getting a clear timeline on either Bill.
