Ivor Callely

Question:

94 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the number of Bills published by his Department in 1996; the comparative figure in this regard for 1993; and the Bills which will be published in the first three months of 1997. [24989/96]

Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht (Mr. M. Higgins)

One Bill was published in 1996 and two Bills were published in 1993. I expect that the Wildlife (Amendment) Bill will be published during the first three months of 1997, as well as my proposals for new broadcasting legislation.
