I want to ask about promised legislation. Also-----

The Deputy should just ask the question, please. He is over time and should be fair to the other Deputies.

With regard to the ordering of business, there has been a very important reform proposed for Oral Questions that would allow only Members who are present to have their questions answered. That deserves recognition. I have been calling for it for some time and am glad it is happening in this term.

Will the Criminal Justice (Legal Aid) Bill provide for eliminating the abuse of the system by some people?

We cannot deal with the content of legislation. When is the Bill due?

Many hundreds of convictions are costing the State huge amounts owing to free legal aid. Will the Bill actually provide for a means of recouping the moneys from the people concerned or a way of eliminating the abuse?

The Deputy knows as well as I do that he cannot ask about the content of legislation. When is the Bill due?

We had a big, long exposé on another Bill.

Based on the current rate of progress, that is due in the middle of next year.
