The debate would accompany the legislation. The issue is still very much to the fore in terms of the legislation to be brought forward. As a legislative priority, I must accept it is behind the local government Bill relating to the Dublin mayoral election and the production of a White Paper on local government reform. However, when these two issues are dealt with, I hope by the end of this session, we will proceed to legislation dealing with Seanad reform.
