The Red Cross (amendment) Bill is not listed on the current programme and the heads have not come before Government. At the current rate of progress it will be next year before it is published. I asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Fitzgerald, to send around an up-to-date information note on the adoption Bill for Members of the House. This is not as easy as it seems. There are complex legal and constitutional issues involved.
