Draft heads of a Bill are being prepared for pre-legislative scrutiny. I was chairman of the agriculture committee in the last Dáil. At the time, we were hoping to have the Bill ready for the pre-legislative scrutiny process. Essentially the new greyhound Bill is based on the Welfare of Greyhounds Act. We are trying to get it into the committee for the autumn session in order that it can be enacted as soon as possible. However, I cannot foretell the conclusion at this stage.
