asked the Minister for Justice if he can now say when he hopes to introduce the long-promised measure dealing with the position of town tenants.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Town Tenants Bill.
asked the Minister for Justice if he is yet in a position to state when he intends to introduce proposals for legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the Town Tenants Commission.
I am taking Questions 9 and 10 together. I hope to be in a position to introduce a Bill at an early date dealing with the recommendations of the Town Tenants Commission.
Will the Minister explain to the House what he means by "an early date"?
I cannot say what the Minister for Justice means by that.
In the "not far distant future."
Mr. Byrne
Will facilities be given for the passage of the Bill through the House, in view of the length of time that will be taken up by the consideration of the Estimates?
Can the Minister tell us if the Bill will be introduced this session?
This session, certainly.
What is meant by that?
Before the Easter Recess?
I would not promise that.
Possibly before the next election.
