I thank Mr. Fraser and his colleagues for attending this meeting. We are reviewing two documents, the annual report and the strategy statement. I refer to page 6 of the strategy report on the programme for Government which then refers to pages 21 to 25.

I am curious to know the answer. Where does the setting up of the expert group to report to the Government on the X case legislation fall into it? I do not see it in the strategy statement or the annual report, yet the Government decided to follow a certain course in late 2012 on the recommendation of the expert group. I thought that came within the remit of the Department of the Taoiseach because the Taoiseach has a close interest in the deliberations. However, it does not appear anywhere in the strategy statement or the annual report.
