We discussed that recently. The purpose of the Bill is to abolish the National Economic and Social Development Office and to place the National Economic and Social Council on a statutory footing. The National Economic and Social Forum and the National Centre for Partnership and Performance were dissolved in 2010 and this piece of legislation has been talked about since the time Brian Cowen was Taoiseach. As far as I can ascertain the Bill has been on the Government's legislative programme since 2013. When will the amended Bill on the National Economic and Social Council be introduced?
