Oireachtas management legislation
Timmy Dooley asks about promised legislation modernising the Houses of the Oireachtas management structures. The Taoiseach says its heads have not yet reached Government but the Bill will proceed.
Last December, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, during the debate on the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission legislation, promised amending legislation to deal with the modernisation of the management structures of the Houses of the Oireachtas. The indication was the legislation would be brought forward in the first half of this year. I am surprised, having looked over the summer session schedule, that no such proposal is included to deal with this promise.

The heads of that Bill have not come to Government and that is why it is not on the list for this session.
