I propose to take Questions Nos. 237, 239 and 240, inclusive, together.
There are no proposals for legislation being prepared under the auspices of my Department where heads have been approved or have yet to be approved by Government.
There is no Act or provision of an Act not in force by reason of the fact that a commencement order has not being made.
However, the Irish Sports Council Bill, which passed all stages in the Oireachtas on 11 May 1999, although it does not require a commencement order, does require that I make an order appointing the establishment day of the new council. Arrangements have commenced in my Department for the making of the order.
