Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy said, the heads of this Bill were cleared in May. I understand that the committee decided not to go through a pre-legislative scrutiny process in September. I am assuming that this legislation will now move ahead. I acknowledge that the Deputy has an interest in it and he raised concerns about it with the Taoiseach yesterday. I look forward to hearing his commentary as that legislation moves through the House so that we get it right.
