Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The heads of the housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill were cleared in December. I attended a Cabinet sub-committee meeting yesterday that dealt with the housing assistance payment issue, which for one or other reason, had taken some time to get a focus. That matter has been attended to and, therefore, I expect the heads of the Bill will be sent to committee as is normal practice.

I will have to come back to the Deputy on the national paediatric hospital development board Bill. I discussed this with the Cabinet sub-committee yesterday along with a number of other boards. I do not want to mislead the Deputy. I will give him the up-to-date position.

The registration of deaths of Irish persons who die abroad was on the original list. I cannot give the Deputy the detail as to why it is not on the list of 41 Bills to be taken but I will send him a note about it.
