The promised legislation on bankruptcy proposes to reduce the length of bankruptcy from three years to one year. It was handed over to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, which reported to the Minister at the beginning of July after unanimously agreeing that it should be reduced to one year. That is the last we have heard of it. It is still sitting on the Minister's desk. Will the legislation be presented to the Dáil and, if so, when? Will it be before the general election?

Tá tamall fada ann ó chuir mé an cheist faoi Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla don chéad uair. Cathain a fhoilseofar an tAcht seo? Tá pobal na Gaeilge ag fanacht air le fada agus tá siad tuirseach leis na geallúintí atá briste ag an Rialtas. Níl go leor ama fágtha ag an Rialtas. Tá sé ar a last legs, mar a deirtear. An bhfuil dóthain ama ann an Bille a chur os comhair an Tí agus a chur i bhfeidhm roimh an earrach?
