Anyone who knows George Mitchell will know that while he will appreciate the medal of freedom, the fact that a scholarship has been established and funded by the Oireachtas in his name is of more tangible substance and will be a source of satisfaction to him. Nevertheless, I join in what the Taoiseach has said.
In a document published at the commencement of the session it was promised to publish 16 Bills before the end of the Easter recess. I do not want to interfere with the travel arrangements for the next week, but I draw the Taoiseach's attention to the fact that the following Bills have not been published: the Broadcasting Bill, the Údurás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill, the School Attendance and Education Welfare Bill, the Companies (Amendment) Bill, the Equal Status Bill, the Illegal Emigrants Bill, the Mineral Developments Bill, the Human Rights Commission Bill, although the heads have been circulated, and the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill. In effect there are only three weeks remaining in the session. When will we see these Bills?
