I thought that as the Minister for Finance is here, I should ask a related question. I have asked this a number of times and I was told the legislation would not come before Easter. As we are on the other side of Easter, what is the position of the legislation allowing for payments to be made from claims to tribunals of inquiry? When do we expect it to reach Second Stage?
