Legislative timetable and housing bills
The Taoiseach said the Government wanted to progress legislation before recess and had provided adequate time for major housing Bills and other items.
First, there is a very comprehensive and busy agenda over the next number of days to be deliberated upon and to get through. The Government wants to progress legislation and bring it to a conclusion before the summer recess. We are very clear about that. We have been pushing for this and very adequate time has been provided over recent weeks for a range of legislative items in respect of housing, in particular, be it the Affordable Housing Bill or the Land Development Agency Bill, and that remains the Government position. We want to conclude certain items and in respect of single amendments, and our contention is that adequate time is being made available.
There was debate last week on the Common Agricultural Policy, or in the past two weeks, which is my understanding.
