Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Significant national and international debates are taking place on the question of decriminalisation and I have no doubt these will form part of preparing the new drugs strategy. The Taoiseach will shortly meet all of the Ministers to identify priorities in the legislative programme and the programme for Government and produce the lists. In the context of Dáil reform, this will be different from how it has been done until now because we are in a different situation. Legislation from throughout the House will form part of the priority work of the Dáil. At present, I do not have information on when the legislation will be brought forward but it is in the programme for Government. I can certainly liaise with the Deputy on the exact timescale when it is known. It will be presented to the House by the Taoiseach in the coming weeks.
