There are eight Bills in the programme for Government that have already been published in this session. There are ten to come in the next number of weeks and there are six we are working on and hope to publish by the end of July before the House rises for the summer.

The Bill the Deputy refers to is not stuck anywhere. It will be taken by the Minister of State, Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy, in the Seanad in the coming weeks. The reason for the delay was to address the concerns raised by parties inside and outside of the House so that when it comes to the Seanad it can pass successfully with everybody's support.
