I refer to the minerals development Bill and, in view of alarming reports today of sharp increases in health insurance, the health insurance (risk equalisation) Bill. I had hoped to advise Minister of State, Deputy Alex White, before he left the Chamber-----

I am sure Deputy Higgins could meet him in the corridors.

That is a dangerous place.

In his new dispensation, he might be able to use his youthful political training in how to deal successfully with an entrenched Stalinist regime.

He was there before.

This involves two items of legislation.

The minerals development Bill and health insurance risk (equalisation) Bill will be published this session.
