Preparation of marital breakdown legislation
Keating asked whether draft Bill heads were ready; the Minister said he had not yet put specific legislative proposals to the Government.
Will the Minister indicate whether at this point the heads of a Bill in any one of the areas he talks about in the legislative programme being planned for the autumn are prepared? How far on is that procedure?
Comment on this
I am not in a position to give an answer to a question like that, as the Deputy knows. I have indicated clearly that there are a number of areas where we intend to bring forward proposals for legislation in the autumn. I have not yet put specific proposals for that legislation to the Government.
