Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N. Ahern)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 150 and 200 together.

I indicated in the press release, which I issued on 3 June last at the end of the public consultation, that the best estimate for a publication date for the draft legislation is the end of 2005.
