This is a Private Members' Bill.

It is. Deputy Dowds has taken a very strong interest in this issue for quite some time and well before the judgment in the Lissadell case, on which I commend him. The Government is considering the issue and is considering the Deputy's Bill. I understand it is being dealt with by the committee.
