The Ceann Comhairle might start the curtailment when I have finished since he was generous with others.

I bring the Taoiseach's attention to the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016. It was the last Act passed by the House on 11 February. It is now 110 days later. In three and a half months we have not passed a single Bill. I cannot recall in my time here a period of time elapsing like this. The Taoiseach has indicated a list of Bills, some of which I have in front of me, which are ready to roll. Some of them have passed Second Stage and others are in the middle of Second Stage. The Taoiseach mentioned the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, and legislation dealing with paternity leave and with standards in public office, in which I was involved. All of these Bills are ready. Why are we not dealing with legislation this week? We need to have a real legislative programme to get our teeth into and I ask the Taoiseach to ensure that we have this. I am amazed we do not have it for this week, but certainly we should have a comprehensive legislative programme for next week.

On a similar issue, we are halfway through the year and we have not passed any departmental Estimate. It cannot be that more than half of the allocated resource to a Department is extended without the authorisation of the House. It is constitutionally fraught to allow this. When will the Revised Book of Estimates be published so we can refer the Revised Estimates to committees and give them legal authority?

The Taoiseach will share with me the following deep concern. This morning, I heard that the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, is finding life at Cabinet very difficult. Is there anything we can do at this time of trauma for him to ease the burdens which are obviously placed upon him?

Replace him with Deputy Alan Kelly.

Love them all to bits. It is a new circumstance and it is never easy, as Deputy Howlin knows from experience, but believe me we will give every opportunity for those who serve in government to serve well and do their duty with responsibility.

Does the Taoiseach provide counselling?

Where difficulties arise we will try to have everybody understand there is collective responsibility on the House to move it forward. Deputy McGrath and anybody else can rest assured we will politically love them to bits, in the sense of-----

He will be charmed.

In respect of the Estimates, the only Estimate passed, as the Deputy knows, was for the Central Statistics Office because the census had to be taken on 24 April. The Minister expects to deal with all of the Estimates for 2016 in the next two weeks and will follow this with a timetable for setting out the summer statement and dealing with the preparations for the budget for 2017.

What is the date for the Revised Book of Estimates?

I will send the date to the Deputy, but it will be in the next two weeks. The Minister has already outlined it.

With regard to the long list of Bills, I do not want a long list of Bills which will never go through. I want a list of Bills-----

A second one would be useful.

Next Tuesday, I will have a list of Bills which are really important which Ministers and Departments are really anxious to put through, for instance dealing with the question of prescription drugs before the summer recess. The Minister is working very hard on this, and instead of waiting for it to come through by the end of the year we hope that with a bit of agreement it might be possible to put it through before the House rises for the summer.
