I share the Deputy's concern on the point at issue. However, as Minister for Justice and Equality, I am not in a position to direct anything towards the HSE. Subject to the Business Committee's approval, I would be very keen to have the legislation debated at a very early stage. With this in mind, I hope we can do so by the end of this week. There are a number of issues involved in the legislation, one of which was mentioned by the Deputy, that can be the subject matter of debate. I am very keen that we introduce the legislation this week.
