Will the Taoiseach indicate when we can expect publication of the Government's legislative programme outlining its legislative priorities? In that context, I note the programme for Government contains a commitment to introduce a health levy on sugar sweetened drinks. Will the Taoiseach indicate when that will be introduced? The Taoiseach said it would be good to have a ring-fenced fund but we can make that happen if we want. The Taoiseach can legislate to have a hypothecated fund or a ring-fenced fund where a certain proportion of expenditure is set aside every year. We did it before for technology and for hepatitis C, and the Taoiseach can do it for this area of new drug technologies, or he can use a sugar tax. While the methodology can be worked out, the idea of a ring-fenced fund should be put into practice. Will the Taoiseach indicate when a sugar tax will be introduced?

In the Thirty-first Dáil there was a Bill on the B list to introduce legislation for assisted human reproduction. The programme for Government for the Thirty-second Dáil contains a commitment to introduce legislation on the regulation of surrogacy and assisted human reproduction services. Will the Taoiseach indicate if this Bill will be on the A list when the Government produces its legislative programme? The Minister for Health is beside the Taoiseach and he might be in a position to indicate how high up the list that is.

Last week I asked the Taoiseach about the cap that seems to have been put on the supply of home care packages and home helps, even though there is a commitment in the programme for Government to increase funding for same. In addition to increased waiting times for home care packages, there is also an increase in the number of people waiting for clearance for the fair deal scheme. At the end of April 2016 there were 603 waiting four weeks, which compares to 197 at the end of September 2015, when the average waiting time was two weeks. Clearly, something has happened over the last two months, as most Deputies in the House can confirm, not least the Deputies beside me. Someone needs to review the waiting times and the cap that is being put on this area of home care packages needs to be lifted. Will the Taoiseach indicate when those items in the programme for Government will be implemented?

At Cabinet this morning we restored 13 Bills to the Dáil clár which had fallen when the Dáil was dissolved. These include the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016, the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, the National Shared Services Office Bill 2016, the Single Resolution Board (Loan Facility Agreement) Bill 2016, the Minerals Development Bill 2015, the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015, the Criminal Justice (Offences Relating to Information Systems) Bill 2016, the Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2014, the Road Traffic Bill 2016, the National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2015, the Public Sector Standards Bill 2015 and the Technological Universities Bill 2015.

Will the Taoiseach provide a list of those Bills?

They are restored to the Order Paper. I expect the legislative programme will come before Cabinet next week, once Ministers and Secretaries General have settled on what it is they want to be able to put through during the forthcoming period.

We have had this practice of A lists, B lists and C lists for as long as I can remember. On every occasion the Dáil has come back, Ministers were sent in to get their Bill on the A list and they found themselves with 25 or 30 Bills, none of which appeared until the second half of the Dáil programme, which resulted in all of the pressure for guillotines to be applied.

We are so averse to that now.

We know the impact of that. There will be no guillotines. I, for one, do not want to see A lists, B lists and C lists that have no hope of getting through.

That is a very belated rationale for guillotines. It took five years to think that up.

This is a different situation. To get any Bill through now, we need consensus, agreement, consultation and so on. That is what Members are going to have, and they will have plenty of it. There is no point looking for 25 Bills on the A list when a Minister is only going to get three or four through. The committees that will be set up by the Oireachtas will have a far greater responsibility than previously. Members should not be expecting A lists and B lists. We need to know what are the priority pieces of legislation from Ministers and their Departments that are important to put through in this session, which will last until the end of July or the middle of August - just to be on the right side of the argument - before the House rises for the summer, and again for the second period when we move into preparation for the budget for 2017.

Deputy Martin mentioned surrogacy-----

The Taoiseach is saying the list will be a re-list.

That is correct. Many of the lists were pressurised lists in that Ministers had to say, "I got my Bill on the B list"-----

We did not realise this for the past five years. We thought the Bills were coming.

We do not want get into too great a debate on this matter.

-----whether it was the noise Bill, the greyhound Bill or the bail Bill going on for 15 years. I am putting an end to all of that now.

It is a bit like Father Ted.

It is more like Dougal.

The Bills that will be brought before the House will be Bills that have a realistic chance of being discussed in the public interest. I expect that next week.

Issues like the sugar tax and such like are a matter for the budget. The Minister for Health will have as many or more home care packages for this year. He is looking at the question of the waiting lists for home care packages and the timescales involved, which Deputy Martin mentioned. He is trying to get a fix on a whole new strategy for attempting to deal with the many problems in the health care sector that can be dealt with effectively and with the cost-effective use of the taxpayers' money. We would expect the legislative programme before the Cabinet next Wednesday.

Next Wednesday?

Wednesday. It is a bank holiday weekend.
