Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I have a few questions on the Order of Business. For clarity on the Tribunals of Inquiry (Amendment) Bill that was scheduled for today and tomorrow, it is unusual even if there was other more pressing business that it would not remain listed since it is likely that there is not sufficient business for tomorrow. Just so I understand it, is it being proceeded with and, if so, when will it be introduced on Second Stage, or is it being withdrawn?

Is time being made available for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to make a statement on the Gort shooting earlier this week so that he can update the House on the exact process of inquiry, what has transpired and what information is available to him?
