Fianna Fáil thanks the Chairman and members of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality for their support at the launch of the Oireachtas report on the recognition of Irish Sign Language for the deaf community which recommends that the Bill put forward by Fianna Fáil which I hope will be brought before the House next week be passed.

We are disappointed that in recent weeks the schedule has been very light on legislation. I am aware that the Leader is trying to get legislation into the House. I spoke to the leader of the Fianna Fáil group and our spokesperson on justice in the Dáil and we will be pushing for the Corporate Manslaughter Bill to be brought before this House in the next two weeks. I ask the Leader to liaise with the Department of Justice and Equality to arrange for the Minister or the Minister of State to be present to allow the Bill to complete Second Stage in the next two weeks and proceed to Committee Stage. Nine years ago the Law Reform Commission proposed a corporate manslaughter Bill, which has not progressed one iota. We hope the Leader will find time to progress our Bill to allow us take Committee Stage next January.0

I am sure the Leas-Chathaoirleach, the Leader and Members of the House will join me in sending best wishes to Senator Catherine Ardagh on her wedding tomorrow in County Donegal. I hope the Child of Prague has been put out in order that it will not be a day like today.

I know that the Leas-Chathaoirleach is a Killarney Legion supporter, but Dr. Crokes are playing the Kenmare District Board divisional team on Sunday. We have not been in a county final since 1987 and I hope we will beat Dr. Crokes.

I would normally correct the Senator-----

As a Legion supporter, I am sure the Leas-Chathaoirleach hopes we will beat them also.

That is not correct but anyway.

Great rivals in Killarney. My enemy's enemy is my friend-----

I should not say from the Chair that this man likes making misleading statements. No further interruptions, please.
