I have some questions on legislation. The misuse of drugs (amendment) (no. 2) Bill will establish medically supervised injecting centres. The heads were approved in January but the Bill is not due for pre-legislative scrutiny until autumn. How quickly can we progress this? In addition, the legislation only provides for one unit, which would be based in Dublin. The mediation Bill is to promote mediation as an alternative to the courts. The heads were approved more than four years ago in February 2012. The universities (amendment) Bill concerns guidelines on remuneration allowances and pensions. Again, the heads of that Bill were approved in October 2012.
