Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Yes, the horse racing Bill will follow that pre-legislative process with the heads of the Bill going to the committee. The consumer protection and competition Bill is nearly completed, so it is way past the heads of Bill stage. It is practically finished so it will be brought before the House and then go to the committee in the usual way. In respect of the official languages (amendment) Bill, the heads will go to the Government and then will go to the committee where hearings will be held, as should be the norm to give a greater opportunity for everybody to have their say.
