I have repeatedly called over the past number of months for an amendment to the 2010 adoption legislation and I welcome the fact that a Bill in this regard will come before the House on Thursday. When will it be published? We are expected to debate all Stages on Thursday, which I have no problem doing, but we are still in a vacuum regarding what is in the legislation. Is it normal practice when all Stages of a Bill are to be debated within 48 hours that Members would not have sight of its contents? Will the Taoiseach indicate when we will see them?

I refer to the publication of the draft wind energy guidelines last week. The Taoiseach agreed previously to make time available to debate this important issue in the House. I again ask when time will be made available to debate what is an important issue for residents of many counties.
