Children and Red Cross Bills

Summary

Bernard Durkan asks whether the heads of the Children (Amendment) and Red Cross (Amendment) Bills have been approved; the Taoiseach says neither has yet been discussed, prompting a brief exchange about his wording.

Bernard Durkan Deputy Bernard J. Durkan Fine Gael

I wish to ask about two items of promised legislation. The first is the children (amendment) Bill, which was promised. I ask the Taoiseach whether the heads have been discussed and approved. Similarly, to what extent have the heads of the Red Cross (amendment) Bill been discussed, and have they been approved? When will these Bills come before the House?
