Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I ask Deputy Ó Caoláin to table a question on that matter to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform because I have no details of it. I assume the Office of the Chief State Solicitor is applying the EU directives and law correctly, as it would in all cases. I have no other comment to make.

I have no information on the tribunals, but in the case of the Moriarty and Mahon tribunals and in some of the other main tribunals which have been running for years there is a separate legal team to the tribunals and the work is not being done by the Office of the Chief State Solicitor. To the best of my knowledge the work is being done by the office in the Barr tribunal, and perhaps in some others as well. I will ask for details on it.
