An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2024-04-30
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

Deputy Bacik spoke about the triple lock. The Government has today given the go-ahead for the Tánaiste to draft legislation in relation to this. I am sure there will be an opportunity for him to engage in the House on this through a variety of means, including questions that take place to him. Legislation will come forward and the Deputy can take this up with the Business Committee.
Deputy Gannon referred to a task force on the city of Dublin. I hope to bring proposals to Cabinet on that as soon as next week, but certainly in the month of May. I am happy to engage with him once I have done that.
On Deputy Berry's comments, my understanding is that the Tánaiste is eager for that Second Stage debate to progress. I know the Deputy's bona fides regarding this. I understand there will be plenty of time on Committee Stage and the Bill will then come back to the House. It went through the Business Committee without dissent this week.
I say this respectfully, but in response to Deputy Mattie McGrath, I do not think in this House we should refer to members of An Garda Síochána as a gang.
