Is prelegislative scrutiny becoming an excuse for doing nothing? I wish to ask the Tánaiste about all other legislation relating to her Department. We have the sale of alcohol Bill, the heads of which were approved in 2012. We have the transfer of sentenced persons Bill and the transfer of execution of sentences Bill, the heads of which were approved in 2013. We have the Tailte Éireann Bill, the heads of which were approved in January 2015 agus i gcás an Aire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta, Gnóthaí Réigiúnacha, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, agus feicimid an tAire Stáit, Teachta Kyne, anseo, ceadaíodh cinn an Bhille i 2014 ar Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla ach níl tada eile ag tarlú ach na cinn ag dul ag na gcoistí, iad a cheadú agus, ansin, lánstad. When can we expect to see real legislation rather than an endless series of heads being put forward to the House but nothing happening for years afterwards?
