We established earlier that it is the role of the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Charles Flanagan, to take protocols forward and he has done so. The relevant Bill was passed and signed into law by the President on 30 December 2015. It is now 2018 and nothing has happened, although Mr. Breen suggested it is a complex scenario. I suggest the matter has not been given the level of priority it requires. Does the Secretary General have a view on what is holding up pre-action protocols, other than the word "complexity"?
