I do not know whether the Taoiseach has read this story about the Minister, Deputy Phil Hogan, this morning-----

We do not display newspapers in the Chamber.

I am asking this question in the context of promised legislation and the ordering of business. It is a serious matter-----

I am sorry, but this is not in order on the Order of Business.

-----when a Cabinet Minister is involved in things that might be construed as encouraging discrimination.

In case the Deputy did not hear me, this is not in order on the Order of Business. There are other ways of raising the matter, other than on the Order of Business.

The Taoiseach plans to bring forward the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill, the purpose of which is to separate the commissions which I suggest need to be strengthened. I also suggest the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, needs to be informed that discrimination is unlawful, including discrimination against members of the Traveller community.

The Deputy should submit a parliamentary question on the issue.

I ask the Taoiseach to give a commitment that the Minister will come before the Dáil to make a statement on the matter.

Not on the Order of Business.

It is a headline banner news story in a national newspaper.

It is not a matter for the Order of Business.

It refers to actions that encourage and underwrite discrimination against members of the Traveller community. It is a most serious matter and I ask the Taoiseach to treat it as such and make time available for the Minister to make a statement on the issue.

In case the Deputy did not hear me, this is not a matter for the Order of Business. When is the legislation promised?

Legislation has been promised - the human rights Bill. However, it is not scheduled for publication until next year.

On the matter of the Minister making a statement -----

The Deputy should resume her seat.
