I take the opportunity to ask the Leader to obtain some information for the House on the Adoption (Information and Tracing) Bill. A lot of work has been carried out on the Bill and I would hate to see it slip off the radar at this stage. Former Deputy Anne Ferris did a huge amount of work on the legislation which is very important.

I also request information on the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill. There was all-party agreement on the report compiled by the justice committee. The Bill passed through all Stages in this House following a set of strong contributions made by many Senators and had commenced Second Stage in the Dáil. Will the Leader ascertain what the current status of the Bill is and when it will be reintroduced? It will be a very important Bill in protecting sex workers and dealing with the issue of criminalisation. I would be grateful if the legislation was brought forward.

On the comments made by Senator David Norris on bin workers and waste charges for the lifting of bins, I, too, look forward to the debate tomorrow. Those who forced the issue and in the process moved the service away from local authorities by engaging in a daily protest and the encouragement of people not to pay waste management charges to their local authorities are the very ones who generated the privatisation of the service. As soon as the private sector companies moved in, I did not see one protest against them. When local authority workers provided a very good public service throughout the country, the very same people were at the forefront of the protests and demonstrations and in the locking of bin lorries into yards, thus not allowing them to collect refuse in this city and many other parts of the country. Therefore, I very much look forward to tomorrow's debate. It will be an opportunity for us to hear the views of Members of different parties, but let us remember the forced privatisation through a non-payment campaign against the local authorities.
