I understand the Government could run right through to the month of April.

The Deputy had better be hoping it does

There is a Seanad election where the Labour Party has presented to the electorate an excellent candidate called Maíria Cahill. If we were to run until April of next year, it would give us adequate time to enact necessary legislation.

Wishful thinking

I am anxious to find where this legislation is at the moment.

Which Bill is that?

Where are we with the spent convictions Bill, the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill, and the public health (alcohol) Bill, as my constituency colleague has rightly raised? The Minister says the alcohol Bill is listed. When is it likely to be taken? Finally, what is the position on the human tissue Bill? Does the Minister think we could have all four Bills passed before the dissolution of this Parliament in April?

I did not catch the fourth Bill. I caught the spent convictions Bill, assisted decision-making Bill and the public health (alcohol) Bill. I did not catch the fourth one.

Will the Government run until April?

The human tissue Bill.

I have dealt with that. The human tissue Bill is likely to be next year. The spent convictions Bill, I understand, is on Report Stage, as is the assisted decision-making Bill. There is a good chance that they will see the light of day before 8 April.

Wishful thinking.

I have addressed the public health (alcohol) Bill with Deputy Collins.
