No. Both Bills are the responsibility of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. We will provide the relevant information to Members. The Department must be prepared to take amendments and deal with the debate. That is what we are led to believe. As soon as they are ready, both Bills will be back before the House.

Senator McFadden asked about the full roll-out of the BreastCheck service and the age limitation for users of the service. Her points will be forwarded on. I cannot say whether the decision to limit the age of users is resource-linked. I do not believe it is politically inspired; it is informed by medical advice. However, the Senator's points are well made and I will find out whether they can be responded to by the Minister, either directly or from the floor of the House.
