HSE Governance Bill and Priory Hall
Deputy Broughan asks about the delayed HSE Governance Bill and the expected Priory Hall inquiry report. The Taoiseach says the Bill has passed the Seanad and hopes progress on Priory Hall will resolve the residents’ difficulties.
What is the status of the Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill? As a result of the rí-rá in the Chamber yesterday, I did not hear the Taoiseach's answer to a question on Priory Hall. Does he expect Mr. Justice Finnegan to report early in the new year?

It was passed in the Seanad three months ago.

As the Deputy is aware, we have a packed agenda. In regard to Priory Hall, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, has been awaiting developments on the issue. Progress has been made and I hope the matter will be resolved in due course. I feel for those who have been out of their homes and apartments for some time now.
