Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

The indications are that we will have a busy schedule next week. Perhaps it might be a suitable opportunity for the Leader to outline next week's programme, in so far as she is aware of it, and the proposed sitting days. Will she tell the House when the Government intends to debate Committee Stage of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill, Second Stage of which was debated here last week?

In view of yesterday's statement by the Minister of State with responsibility for housing, Deputy Noel Ahern, on the prohibition of stage payments, of which everyone spoke in favour for all the obvious reasons, his comments would be more appropriate for the contracts section of that Bill. We would need to hear from the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform on the matter.
