The Irish Government's spring/summer legislation Programme is ambitious. 49 priority pieces of legislation (Bills) were announced in January 2018, as part of the new legislative session. The Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, in unveiling this programme stated that the aim of the Government is to prioritise legislation "which makes a positive impact on people's lives".  

But the real ambition lies in the difficult issues to be addressed. These include tackling the housing crisis, healthcare, national broadband access, amending the Constitution and gender pay regulation, all of which go to the heart of current public debate in Ireland.

The full programme can be accessed here.
