Brendan Griffin (Kerry, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I would appreciate if the Minister will bring along my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin. I would love to see him here. I look forward to meeting him here in an official capacity.

I welcome the co-operation and involvement by the different bodies and Departments. I have a question on the democratic process of accountability and the Minister's commitment to update the committee and answer questions in the Dáil on a six-monthly basis. When the report is completed, and whether we get it or not, is there any part of the documentation that will not be subject to freedom of information, FOI, provisions? Will there be total transparency in terms of democratic accountability when the process is finished, particularly in view of the issues that arise in other jurisdictions over major events like this one? We can come back to the matter later.
