I am sorry. In that case, I will raise another matter.

The disability equality (miscellaneous provisions) Bill involves the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It is on the legislative programme and is listed in the programme for Government. The Tánaiste can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that she suggested that the Bill would be in the House before Christmas. However, I see no sign of it on next week's schedule. I do not know how it can be started before Christmas. What is happening and how soon can it begin?
