I ask the Deputy to accept my bona fides in this matter. The moment I discovered the urgency of this problem, which was due to what I saw on "Prime Time", I addressed it. I asked my Department to have legislation drafted and to hurry it up. That was done. It was not going to be ready at any stage by the end of July but it will be slotted into a Bill that is ready to come to the House in a short timeframe. That shows a sense of urgency for something that has been wallowing in the rafters for many years. With the agreement and the enthusiasm of the Government, I will insist that this Bill come before the House at an early stage after the recess.
