Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

According to the terms of reference, the report on electronic voting was to be entrusted to the Ceann Comhairle on behalf of the Members of the House. It emerges that it was given to the Minister of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, which helps to explain how it leaked into the newspapers over the weekend. Will the Ceann Comhairle advise me of the redress available to me as a Member of the House in that a report intended for the safekeeping of the Ceann Comhairle until it was made available to the Members of the House was furnished to or somehow got into the hands of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, to enable him to prepare for revelation to the public of its catastrophic conclusions?
