Is a particular sequence proposed for prioritising the promised legislation which might receive the most urgent consideration? There are 15 items on the short list of legislative proposals. Is this the exclusive list or will other required legislation be introduced during the period ahead?

Two subjects that are not on the list will definitely arise before the end of the Dáil term. One is the proposal to choose the Ceann Comhairle by way of a secret election, for which room must be provided.

Second, following on from the discussions on flooding we have had since the Dáil came back, certain matters relating to insurance and the regulatory framework for the broad River Shannon might need to be addressed. They are a couple of subjects which come to mind. Otherwise, a number of matters have already been dealt with. I refer, for example, to the adoption (amendment) Bill. Three Bills were taken for publication this week. I know that a great deal of work is ongoing in relation to the others.
