The Government has promised to introduce a criminal law (sexual offences) Bill which I presume will address issues such as the purchase of sex and the trafficking and exploitation of individuals. The problem is very real in many parts of the country. Will the Taoiseach indicate a timeline for bringing forward that legislation?

In February 2013 the Government closed down the mobility allowance scheme. I understand it is intended to address the issue in the health (transport services) Bill. Is that correct? If so, given that many people who in the past might have availed of the mobility allowance are enduring real hardship, when might we expect to see the Bill before the House?
