Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

What lobby was employed to get the Taoiseach and his colleagues to concede the extension of the old rates from 12 January to the suggested date of the end of June? Who ultimately took the decision to concede? Was any consideration given to, and what is the Taoiseach's view of, the consequences of this decision on the Moriarty tribunal applying to the other tribunals that have set dates for the new fees to become effective? There are many questions about this and I urge the Taoiseach to be as open as possible in the House.
