Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can say to the former Minister, in respect of this legislation, that we have had in excess of five days on Committee Stage, wherein a number of important amendments were made. There is now a period of reflection between Committee and Report Stages. I expect that in the next few weeks we can bring matters back to the House in terms of having Report Stage and have the legislation enacted. It is very important legislation and it is a priority for this Government as underlined in the programme for Government and I can assure Deputy Howlin that it will be back in this House for early enactment within the next few weeks.
