What is the Deputy's second question?

My second question concerns a very sensible proposal to bring forward good Samaritan legislation.

Good Samaritan legislation?

Yes and I am sure the Tánaiste knows what I mean by that.

Perhaps Deputy Healy-Rae will translate it for us.

As the Ceann Comhairle said the other day, I will decode it. There was a proposal for legislation to protect good Samaritans, that is, people who might be performing a life-saving act, for example-----

We will have to check that out for the Deputy.

The Ceann Comhairle is aware of it himself. He knows what I am talking about.

I do not really, to be honest.

The legislation was to protect good Samaritans who were assisting in a situation-----

Is the Deputy referring to a Private Member's Bill?

-----and thereby exposing themselves to the risk of being sued.

That is very foreign to the Labour Party, that kind of talk. It is short of good Samaritans at the moment.

Is Deputy Martin one himself?

We live the Gospel.

We saw where that led his party before.

I ask the Tánaiste to do the best he can.

I think the legislation to which Deputy Healy-Rae refers was a Private Member's Bill and there is no Government commitment in that regard. On the Charities Act and issues relating to commencement, I will seek a reply for Deputies Healy-Rae and Martin.

Deputy Burton made a statement on it last week.
