As the Taoiseach is aware, before the summer break the Attorney General advised the Government that it could not proceed with legislation to give effect to the people's decision to repeal the eighth amendment. Those cases have taken their course. Will the Taoiseach now confirm when the Government intends to publish the full Bill and when we can expect to take the Bill in this House?

As Deputy Micheál Martin is aware, the courts have made their decision, the referendum has now taken effect and the Constitution has been changed. I checked with the Minister for Health and I think we can have the Bill before the House in the first week in October. I will double-check but we are on target to meet our timeline of having the legislation through both Houses before the end of the year so that the new services can be made available in the new year.
