Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

They are due to be produced around now. There have been some discussions in the Oireachtas committee this week, along with a number of presentations about wind energy. I will advise Deputy Troy on the current position regarding the publication of the guidelines.

I had a briefing yesterday from the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Fitzgerald, about the problems associated with the adoption issue. I have asked the Minister to circulate an up-to-date information note on this to all Members of the House. It is not as clear or as simple as one might think. There are complex legal and constitutional issues involved. The Minister is attempting to do the best she can on the matter.
