Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This must be the first time in a long time the Taoiseach has not had an answer on an issue.

Regarding subhead N, the Newfoundland and Labrador business partnership, I know there has been a relationship between Ireland and there for some time. The subhead amounts to €337,000. What are the proposed initiatives in 2006 for the partnership?

I note the names of Messrs. C. J. Haughey and M. Lowry under heading J with a figure for €9.07 million. Does the Taoiseach expect the Moriarty tribunal to be wound up and, if so, will he give an indication of when it will be? Subhead R refers to the task force on active citizenship. The Taoiseach had his guru from America visit to discuss the issue and he has often referred to it as social capital. While there is no increase in funding for the task force in 2006, there are leaders in every townland and parish willing to participate in this important and critical activity. What programme is envisaged for the task force in 2006?
