Vol. 459 No. 7
78 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the number of Bills published by his Department for each of the years 1992 to date in 1995; the titles of the Bills; the number of these Bills that were passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas; if he has satisfied himself with progress in 1995; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18696/95]
Of the 13 Bills published in the period since my Department was established in 1993, 11 have been passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas, one Bill is at Second Stage in Dáil Éireann and the remaining Bill is currently at Second Stage in Seanad Éireann. This is an achievement of which I can be justifiably proud.
Details of the Bills published are set out in the following tabular statement:
