Summary

After procedural corrections, Mattie McGrath asked when the local government reform Bill would be debated, citing its importance for Tipperary and local councils; the Taoiseach had no publication date.

When will we fully debate the local government reform Bill? Its proposals will impact on County Tipperary as well as on many town and borough councils across the country.

I also wish to raise the greyhound (amendment) Bill. I invite all Members to come to our annual coursing meeting in Clonmel next Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has given a commitment to come to it. The meet has changed this year to a weekend event with significant efforts put into it to ensure its success. I even invite the anti-coursing people to come-----

This is not relevant to the Order of Business. We will take the first point on local government reform.
