Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

The Minister is on radio with Pat Kenny but he is not here in the Dáil when he is needed. The commission of investigations legislation was put through the House two years ago and we delayed instituting investigations into the Dublin archdiocese and other sex abuse scandals until that legislation was passed. Why is the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform not using that legislation, which was passed specifically for that purpose?
