Tá dhá cheist agam ar an Taoiseach faoi reachtaíocht atá forógraithe. Given the leak of the report - we must wait and see whether it is a real report or not - and the fact that the Halappanavar family will be put through another trauma, could the Taoiseach tell us when legislation for the X case will be brought forward by the Government given that on two occasions, it voted against a motion from Sinn Féin and legislation from Deputy Clare Daly?

We are advised that there will be some changes in family home tax introduced by the Government in the budget in the finance Bill. The Taoiseach will recall that in the programme for Government, the Government promised to take into account the situation of those in negative equity in any property tax proposal it brought forward. Yet the proposal now being put forward takes no account of mortgage distress or negative equity. Would the Taoiseach not use this opportunity given all the billions he says he gained last week to withdraw the proposal on a tax on the family home?

When I replied to Deputy Martin, I referred to the Minister for Finance when it is, of course, the Minister for Health who has not received the report. We set out a very clear process before Christmas with regard to dealing with the A, B and C case and the Supreme Court decision in the X case. The Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children under the chairmanship of Deputy Buttimer held its hearings on an information basis and presented that report to the Minister for Health. I can confirm that quite a deal of work has been done in preparation of the legislative heads that will be required. When they are completed, the Minister will bring that to Government for approval. The Deputy should not ask me the exact date but it is not too far away. As I said before to Deputies, we do not want to prolong this unduly but it is important that it be treated with the focus it obviously deserves.

I am not giving a date for when the Minister will bring the heads of the Bill to Government but he has completed a deal of preparatory work in preparing them for approval.
