Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As a former Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, I retain a keen interest in this issue and acknowledge the expertise and input of Deputy Burton and others in the area. I note to Deputy Aindrias Moynihan that the Bill is before the Seanad on Committee Stage. It is a priority Bill of the Minister, Deputy Zappone. I hope the Business Committee of the Seanad and all parties directly involved can determine how to progress the matter between now and the end of the year.
