Deputy Adams raised the matter of the immigration Bill last week and the Minister, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, replied to him yesterday in a detailed letter about that. Amendments are being prepared on the section that she is fast-tracking, and that will come before the House in the not too distant future.

The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013 is awaiting Committee Stage. The Department of Justice and Equality, together with the Attorney General's office, are working on amendments. They are conscious of the importance of this. After these have been concluded, it will come before a committee here in the House.

I will come back to Deputy Adams with an up-to-date position on HIQA and its extension to other agencies and organisations.
