I will come back to Deputy Troy on that. In respect of the Children First legislation, that is awaiting Committee Stage here in the House. The Government made a number of appointments following the recommendations given to it in regard to the Supreme Court. I cannot indicate to the Deputy when the Supreme Court will do its job. It is completely independent in that matter.

I will confirm to Deputy Troy in regard to the commencement order for the vetting legislation. I would point out that while these things can be very complex, the Government did appoint a Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, did set up a Department of children, did hold a referendum and is putting through pieces of legislation here-----
