I thank Deputy Farrell for raising this issue. I had a brief word with the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, on this earlier today. My understanding is that it is still planned to publish that legislation quite shortly. Obviously the timeline for passing it will depend on all of us in this House. In parallel to that we are reviewing the timeline for those elections and I will revert to the Deputy shortly on that.
