Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

As we have not had the institutions for a number of years, we have a large number of issues to discuss. I do not want to pre-empt legislative measures or other actions that might be necessary and I will listen to the First Minister elect before I come to conclusions about that matter. We would like to proceed with the commencement of the institutions as quickly as we can.
