Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My understanding is that the heads of the national paediatric hospital Bill are being worked on and it will be published later this year. The heads of the gender recognition Bill are currently being drafted and although I cannot give an exact date for the legislation, I expect we will see it this year. There is no Bill listed relating to pensions but my understanding is that the Minister, Deputy Burton, is working on legislation relating to pensions. The Social Welfare and Pensions (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill has finished in this House and is going to the Seanad tomorrow, so there will be an opportunity for the Deputy's party colleagues to raise questions on the Bill if they wish to do so.
