This is an issue within which he has officially designated responsibilities.

I would rather leave these matters for that meeting, at which Deputy Finian McGrath would be in a position to provide the committee with his stated timeframes. In the context of his ministerial responsibility, I have acknowledged the designated role he has under law, and I have been happy enough to allow him to proceed. I suggest that that might be a better course of action.
