Paul Donnelly (Dublin West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I do not have much to add to what has been said by my colleagues. This important Bill needs to progress. I hope it is done in a speedy manner and that we have the opportunity to get it passed before the general election. I am not pre-empting the calling of the election. Perhaps the Minister of State will tell us today whether it will happen in September or October. I wish all my colleagues a good summer. I hope we come back refreshed in September and that the Bill is progressed as quickly as possible.
