Government legislation timetable

Summary

Micheál Martin seeks dates for the health Supplementary Estimate, landlord and tenant reform Bill, Garda malicious injuries legislation and hospital trusts Bill. The Taoiseach gives tentative timings for some measures and agrees to pursue a debate on the estimates and the Cregan report.

I am asking about the Supplementary Estimate for health and requesting a debate on same.

When can we expect the landlord and tenant reform Bill, and will it deal with the abolition of development levies for homes sold for under €300,000? Finally, the Garda Síochána compensation (malicious injuries) Bill has been on the legislative programme for quite some time. Given the horrific attack on another garda this morning, can the Taoiseach confirm when the Bill will be brought before the House?

I would be happy to have a debate in the House on the report of Mr. Justice Cregan when it comes to me. When it comes, I will have to ask him for permission to publish it. Obviously, we can have a debate in the House about the best way to proceed.
