Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for her comments on those who lost their lives in Orlando.

The new Order of Business arrangements will provide for Ministers to reply directly about the detail of legislation, which will prove helpful for all Members. I understand from the Minister mentioned that the regime has just been introduced. He intends to monitor the position carefully and will obviously apprise the Deputy and everybody else of what is happening about the issue and concern she has raised. He will, therefore, be in touch with her. For her information, because she has raised the issue with me on a number of occasions, she will be happy to know that the Government gave approval this morning to the Minister for Health to deal, as a matter of priority, with a number of new substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977.
