John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

There is no question of abandoning the regional approach when it comes to developing our tourism industry and inward travel into the country.

Senator Coghlan raised a matter pertaining to the Bills that are outstanding. Next week, the House will hold the Committee Stage debate on the Health Bill and the Second Stage debate on the Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill and the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill. The Private Members' business will pertain to ethical foreign policy. The Committee and remaining Stages of the Carbon Fund Bill will be debated, as will the Roads Bill. Moreover, the House will complete the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill by Thursday evening. Members will also debate the Medical Practitioners Bill, which they are already dealing with, and the Electoral (Amendment) Bill. The Defence (Amendment)(No. 2) Bill must come back from the Dáil. Other Bills include the European Communities Bill, the Broadcasting Bill and the Statute Law Revision Bill, which Members have dealt with and which will come back before the House. These are some of the Bills and I also expect the Criminal Justice Bill will come back before the House.
