Can I ask the Taoiseach about two Bills that are proposed? I am aware that the heads of a Bill that would require the publication on menus of details of calories were agreed last February. Obviously, this legislation will have profound effects on health and on obesity. When will it will be published? We have consistently raised the second Bill, which will reform and consolidate our domestic violence legislation. As the Taoiseach is aware, some 39 states have signed up to the Istanbul Convention to date. We have to pass legislation so that Ireland can sign up to it. There has been an ongoing delay in bringing that Bill before the House. Can the Taoiseach give us a timeframe for when we might get it?
