Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I know the Minister sees nothing wrong with this. For the past hour and a half we listened to two Cabinet Ministers, the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, and the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, seeking the approval of the Oireachtas for commission of investigation inquiries. I applaud them for doing so. Nobody seems to take responsibility for much, particularly the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
