Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Rabbitte asked me yesterday if the Minister would make a statement on the matter in the House. The Minister said he is quite prepared to do so but he must find some mechanism to do it. He can only do so if somebody tables a question or raises a matter on the Adjournment. The Minister is quite prepared to put on record his reply on the Dr. Harbison issue but he must find a mechanism to do it. If nobody provides a mechanism for him he cannot do it but he is prepared to do it.
