Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This adoption Bill is a matter of sensitivity and it has to be dealt with or the time will pass by. The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs has proposed a number of amendments to the Adoption Acts, which the Cabinet approved this morning, after issues were raised by the Deputy and a number of others. I expect that officials will be touch with the Deputy and other Members quickly. We need to deal with it on Thursday and that is why all Stages will be taken then. It only went through Cabinet this morning. I had to deal with the economic programme afterwards. The Deputy will be contacted and he can give his support for it. He has rightly been vociferous about these amendments.
