There is very little business on the Order Paper for today. The Minister has noted that some of the business scheduled for today was completed yesterday, but it is prudent to have other work for Parliament to do on a sitting day. The House was originally scheduled to sit tomorrow, but the sitting was cancelled owing to the late publication of the Child and Family Relationships Bill 2015. I am sure there are other Departments that have legislation which is ready to be debated, which would be a proper use of parliamentary time.

In the spirit of our earlier discussion, when can we expect legislation to be published to establish the independent Garda authority? In regard to emergency workers, legislation is being prepared to reform the compensation scheme for members of An Garda Síochána, but it is not on the Government's priority list. When is it envisaged that this legislation will be introduced?

I may have inadvertently misled Deputy Thomas P. Broughan. The date he is seeking is 27 March, not 20 March.

The business originally scheduled for 6 March has been moved to 27 March.

That is correct. I apologise for misleading the Deputy.

With regard to the changes made yesterday, I am advised that they were made at the request of the Opposition. However, a considerable volume of legislation will be introduced in the weeks and months ahead. There is a measure of agreement that we should press on with the Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015, although we should not rush it because it is complex legislation. It will be brought before the Houses in early course.

The Garda authority legislation will be introduced this session. The compensation scheme provisions to which the Deputy referred will be introduced later this year.
