Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. I assure all Members that the Government shares their sense of urgency and wants to resolve this matter. The Deputies are entirely correct. I intend to go to Cabinet shortly with a view to bringing about a legislative solution on which I hope we will work, on a cross-party basis, with a view to passing it by the summer recess. There are two vehicles through which we could do this, either through a simple stand-alone Bill or by including it in other legislation that will come before the House before the summer recess.
