Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Beidh Acht na dteangacha oifigiúla ag teacht isteach roimh deireadh an seisiúin seo. The gender recognition Bill has been through the pre-legislative stage and is progressing very well. I am informed that we expect it to be brought before the House before the end of this session. No compulsion can be imposed on Members to attend the Chamber. We cannot require the Deputy to be here, for example, and Members watch proceedings on monitors. They have other duties to attend to also.
