Consumer protection and languages Bills
Éamon Ó Cuív asks about publication before Easter; the consumer protection and competition Bill has cleared Cabinet and is due shortly, while the official languages Bill remains under preparation for this session.
Will the heads of the official languages (amendment) Bill be published before Easter? Will the consumer protection and competition Bill be published before Easter? The latter Bill has been on the cards, as an A-list Bill, since autumn 2012 and is very urgently needed.
Comment on this
It is due to come to the House for Committee Stage debate shortly. The official languages (amendment) Bill is listed for this session but the heads have not come to Government yet. I understand that the Aire Gaeltachta is working very hard on them. I will advise Deputy Ó Cuív as to the current state of preparation.
