Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not saying it was made in the House, but that the comment was made and nursing staff were very upset about it, and rightly so, because it did down their professional competence to look after people at the front line. I will have to come back to Deputy Troy regarding the health reform legislation. In respect of the national vetting bureau, I cannot give a date for the commencement of the order, but I will check with the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. In respect of mandatory reporting, that Bill is awaiting Committee Stage and some further amendments, so the Chairman of the relevant Oireachtas committee may well know, but I will find out and I will advise Deputy Troy.
