I call Deputy Lawlor. I ask him to be brief as many Deputies want to ask questions.

I have no doubt. Will the Minister tell the Taoiseach as well?

I hope that is the only time a Cork man will interrupt a Kildare man this season. EU directive 2010/32/EU should have been transposed by last Saturday. When will that legislation be brought before the Dáil? Without it being transposed, there are potential liabilities on the State.

That is secondary legislation. I will need to check its status and I will advise the Deputy.
