Comment on this
The programme for Government outlines the Government's legislative priorities for the 31st Dáil. Ministers have begun the task of developing legislative proposals to give effect to the commitments in the programme. The Government will shortly approve a programme outlining its legislative priorities between now and the end of the summer session and this will be published. The Government will publish a similar programme at the start of each Dáil session.
With regard to my Department, the legislative priority will be the preparation of legislation to enable a referendum to be held on the abolition of the Seanad.
