My question is on promised legislation and refers to what the Taoiseach said to Deputy McDonald earlier. With the announcement yesterday regarding the mother and baby home in Tuam, the Taoiseach said that bespoke legislation would be required. Will we need to amend legislation or will new legislation be drafted? Does the Taoiseach imagine that it will be fast-tracked in the first quarter of next year in order that it can be run in tandem with outsourcing the work that has to be done? The legislation should run parallel to this so that the people at the centre of this matter, who are aging, do not have to wait much longer for results.
