In his judgment yesterday Mr. Justice John McMenamin referred to the issue of forced marriages, particularly of under-age girls. He cited a legal lacuna in this area. Can the Government commit to introducing legislation in this regard? I understand the Government has had the 2012 report by the independent Government rapporteur on child protection since January of this year. Can the Minister given an indication of when this report will be published?

My final question relates to the legislation brought before the Seanad by Senator John Kelly and the legislation in the lottery system for Friday morning sittings. Given that both Members are members of Government parties, will the Government commit to introducing legislation to deal with the regulation of wind energy, as discussed earlier this morning?
