I asked a question about the Cork mail centre-----

This is a matter for Topical Issues.

I know the Deputy asked the question, but I have no responsibility for the response of the Minister.

Perhaps the Minister could respond to me at some stage before-----

The Minister may communicate with the Deputy.

I have no problem communicating with the Deputy, but it must be borne in mind that this is a public company that has commercial responsibility. It has to develop its proposals in a way that is financially viable.

We have exhausted this issue.

I call Deputy Troy. There are other Members offering. Nobody has a monopoly in this House.

In 2014 the European Union issued a directive to ensure an independent competent noise authority would be established. My understanding is the legislation was finally brought to the Cabinet today. Having wasted two and a half years, I understand the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, wants the Bill to be enacted by the end of the year. If he is serious about having this important Bill enacted by the end of the year, when will it be published in order that all Members of the Dáil will have an opportunity to scrutinise it?

Does the Minister intend to visit on this occasion?

Deputy Troy is very well informed. The Bill was indeed brought to the Cabinet this morning. It was approved by it and will be published on Friday. With the co-operation of the House, we anticipate that it can be enacted by the end of this calendar year.
