Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2024
115. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Transport if his Department will be prioritising the progression of any specific pieces of legislation prior to the Dáil summer recess; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24711/24]
View answerI thank the Deputy for her question, and would respectfully refer her to the Summer Legislative Programme published online by the Government Chief Whip in April of this year.
The Summer Legislative Programme lists Bills that are being prioritised for publication and drafting during the Summer Dáil Session 2024, including those being progressed by my Department.
In the Summer Legislative Programme 2024, the Deputy may wish to note:
• the Merchant Shipping (Investigation of Marine Accidents) Bill is being prioritised for publication during the Summer Dáil Session.
• the Railway Safety (Amendment) Bill is being prioritised for drafting during the Summer Dáil Session.
Work is ongoing within the Department of Transport to progress both Bills in cooperation with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel in the Attorney General's Office.
