Upcoming legislative Bills
Durkan asks about the geothermal energy, mediation and Horse Racing Ireland Bills; the Tánaiste outlines their expected publication timelines.
When is it proposed to bring forward the geothermal energy development Bill, the mediation Bill and the Horse Racing Ireland (amendment) Bill, Nos. 29, 51 and 57, respectively, in the legislative programme? Have the heads of the Bills been agreed and are they likely to come before the House before the end of this year?
Comment on this
The heads of the geothermal energy development Bill have been approved by the Government and the Bill is being drafted. Publication is expected in the middle of next year. The heads of the mediation Bill have been approved and publication is expected later this year. Publication of the Horse Racing Ireland (amendment) Bill will be later this year as well.
