Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Arising from the interview given by the DPP and in respect of proposals made by Deputy O'Keeffe on behalf of the Fine Gael Party about changes in legislation in respect of sentencing, does the Taoiseach envisage changes in that area requiring judges in open court to explain the reasons they may have gone outside a tariff for sentences for particular categories of crime resulting in a possible tilting of the balance of the law in respect of victims as against perpetrators?

Arising from the Supreme Court decision in respect of the parents of children born in Ireland, what is the Government's reaction to it in respect of the referendum and the decision of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform?

The Irish Examiner today carries a report that in addition to Professor O'Neill's report on Leas Cross, there is a second report from a geriatrician pending a separate investigation into that home. Will it be published or can the Taoiseach confirm it is pending?
