Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

I apologise to the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and the Minister for being late. I appreciate the Leas-Cheann Comhairle taking these questions now.
I know Deputy Tully has a similar question, namely, Question No. 6. Many people welcomed the decision not to proceed further with the consultation on the Green Paper and to walk away from the proposals examined in it. Questions now arise as to what happens next. What happens with the opinions that were submitted? There is a recognition that some reform is needed. How does the Minister intend to proceed with that?
