Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If one works backwards from 1 January 2016 when the Bill is to take effect, it is important that the issues be dealt with as outlined by the Minister for Justice and Equality. Today the Cabinet approved all of these stages whic allowh for a further two and half hours of discussion of the matter this evening. This is a very important development. The personnel, including the chairperson, the chief executive, the governance officer and the members to be appointed, are all ready to go. There is a process in train and it is for that reason we are anxious to finish it this evening. I ask Deputy Gerry Adams to go along with this.
