This is the interesting thing - the Taoiseach runs the Government. He might not run the Business Committee, but he does run the Government. His Cabinet makes the decision. In the absence of clear decisions on reform, he should call it. With respect, the answer he has just given is the old-style political answer that a report will be produced. If he is honest, he does not like that answer himself.
