Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

When is the Moriarty tribunal expected to conclude? It has been running for a very long time.

I note that a prominent businessman is seeking to restrict the chairman of the tribunal in the types of conclusions he can make in his pending report. The outcome of that challenge will affect the reports of all tribunals, including the Mahon tribunal which is inquiring into other matters relevant to the Taoiseach.

Mr. Justice Moriarty's second report will concentrate on payments to the former Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications, Deputy Lowry. When is that report expected and when will the tribunal conclude its work? Has the Taoiseach appointed anybody from his Department to liaise with the Mahon and Moriarty tribunals, given that both are dealing with relevant matters?
