Given the amount of time it will take the universities to put together their electoral registers, can the Minister outline the progress on the Seanad electoral (university Members) (amendment) Bill? It is of key importance that it is taken early in the new year on the basis that an election will be called sometime next year or the year after. Will the landlord and tenant Bill include proposals to amalgamate any of the agencies in the property services area in order to streamline such services?

We can debate the content of the Bill when it comes before the House.

The proposals in the Seanad electoral (university Members) (amendment) Bill have been discussed in the Seanad already. Effectively, the discussion was on the proposed heads of the Bill but work is advanced on it. Tentatively, it will be published next year.

What about the landlord and tenant Bill?

There is no date for publication.
