Seanad debates

Thursday, 20 November 2003

Senator Brian Hayes also inquired about the Maternity Protection Bill and the Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill. The Government amendments to the Maternity Protection Bill are expected to be published in the next day or two. We will, therefore, be taking the Bill during the week after next. There is nothing I can do about the Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill, in respect of which a huge number of amendments have been submitted to the Attorney General's office. There is no sign as yet of their re-emerging. We will keep our fingers crossed in respect of the Maternity Protection Bill which, I understand, is being practically rewritten to incorporate a number of major changes.
