John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

I would be happy to elucidate on the matter. I already pointed out to Senator Bacik that a team of international lawyers, ClientEarth, which previously worked with the Australian Government, is working with us on the relevant Bill. I hope to be in a position to publish the heads thereof shortly before the summer recess. I also hope to guide it through the Houses in the autumn. The legislation is complex and ground-breaking in nature and is has real implications for other Departments, including the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation. That is why progress has been slower than I would like. However, that is the political reality.
