Many families are being discriminated against in the absence of the school admissions legislation. When will it come before the House? The Taoiseach claimed that there would be a new full Department for children.

The Deputy only has a minute.

I ask about two pieces of promised legislation. When will the legislation to give effect to the referendum in relation to children in long-term care being available to be adopted come before us? Will it come before the House falls at election time? The report from the joint committee on the information and tracing legislation was presented to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. Can the Taoiseach give a firm commitment that the legislation will come before the end of the Dáil term?

Both Bills relating to adoption are being worked on by the Office of the Parliamentary Council. I expect it will be next year. The Education (Admission to School) Bill has been published and is awaiting Second Stage.
