The Bethany Home issue was raised by Deputy Adams yesterday with the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach undertook to talk to the Minister for Justice and Equality and revert to the House. A formal letter of response from the Taoiseach will be issued to Deputy Adams today and I will ensure a copy is sent to Deputy McDonald.

I am anxious that the Construction Contracts Bill is enacted. The Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, has been involved in extensive consultation. It is an initiative of Senator Feargal Quinn, who gets the credit for it. It is expected that we will find time for it next week.
