I expect to publish the Children and Family Relationships Bill before the end of the current Dáil session.
As the Deputy is aware the Children and Family Relationships Bill is at present included in the published Government Legislation Programme for the Autumn Session 2014 as an "A list" Bill which specifies that the Bill is expected to be published in the period up to the beginning of the next session.
Drafting work on the Bill is progressing well and I expect to be in a position to publish it in accordance with this timeline.
