When does the Taoiseach expect the Government to bring forward legislation to give effect to the local government amendments proposed by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government in the People First document? I am conscious that local development companies and county enterprise boards may need a period of negotiation, if necessary, on those changes in the context of any alterations in work practices.

Does the question refer to the county enterprise boards?

Yes and local development companies, Leader boards and so on.

The Government approved a memo on this recently and I will verify that and give the Deputy a more accurate update on when the Minister will produce his Bill. There are discussions taking place.
