Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Will the Taoiseach confirm that the briefings to be provided by the Attorney General to the leaders of the respective parties will also be given to a nominee of the Independent Members of the House, who must be given equal access? While this matter is unprecedented to my knowledge, will the Taoiseach advise if the full raft of information, including the historical context, will be given to Members, so that any tenuous precedent can be pointed up and Members informed of the process? When such an issue is being addressed by elected Members of this House it is important that everyone is properly informed of any precedent that would give greater information. Will the Taoiseach advise us of the timeframe within which he expects the committee to deliberate and when the report of the committee will come before this Chamber?
