Order of Business. (26 Apr 2006)

Trevor Sargent: We have a long list of promised legislation and, as the Taoiseach indicated, we are expecting a general election in 2007. Are all those Bills genuinely promised or is this a pre-election list to encourage re-election on the understanding the Government will process the rest of the Bills? Are there two separate lists or can we take it that they are all promised legislation for this Dáil? It...

Order of Business. (27 Apr 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I wish to ask about the Government's promised legislation on disabilities. The Disability Act, the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act and the Comhairle (Amendment) Bill were intended to all go together in implementing the Government programme in that area. The Comhairle (Amendment) Bill is in abeyance. Will it be taken before the summer recess, given that we have had an...
