What is the status of the data-sharing and governance Bill? Are the heads of the Bill close to being approved? As the Taoiseach will be aware, it is very frustrating for citizens who are using public services to have to enter their details on multiple occasions in respect of the same issue. If the data-sharing legislation is enacted, people will not need to provide the same information on multiple occasions. This will save much time and stress, reduce costs to the State and enhance customer service.

The Deputy has made his point.

For these reasons, this legislation needs to be prioritised.

The heads of the Bill were approved in July of this year. This is a complex area. I expect it will be early next year before the Bill is published.

I thank the Taoiseach.
