Senator Feargal Quinn spoke about Seanad reform. He is quite right: we have several documents on the list or the Order Paper. However, the Taoiseach has come to the House and stated emphatically that he is committed to legislating for the decision of the people in 1979, with which he is proceeding. I imagine there will be many other procedures that will have to be changed in the House to provide for reform of the system. We look forward to debating the issue in the coming months. We also look forward to the Government's proposals in that regard.

Reference was made to the Bill on presumed consent for organ donations. I note that the Human Tissue Bill is on the Government list, but it is certainly not down for discussion in the coming months. I will again ask the Minister for Health what is the position. He gave a commitment that we would have the Bill in the first part of the year.

As it is on the C list of the Government's legislative programme, I would not be hopeful it will be dealt with in the first half of the year.

Senator Paul Coghlan complimented the quiet diplomacy of Mr. Cooney and the papal nuncio regarding the reopening of the Irish Embassy at the Vatican. He also outlined his concerns about the dispute at the Liebherr factory in Killarney. That company is so important to employment in Killarney and County Kerry in general that I hope all parties will come together to resolve this outstanding matter as a matter of urgency.

And accept the Labour Court's recommendation.
