Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I agree with Deputy Bruton on the need for a debate on the Shannon issue and hope the Ceann Comhairle, as indicated, will allow Private Notice Questions on the issue later today. One of the committees proposed to be established by the Government is a transport committee. The Labour Party intends to propose to that committee that the Ministers currently and previously in the Department of Transport on 13 June, as well as their officials, be invited to attend and outline their knowledge of the matters relating to Shannon and answer questions. Will the Government agree to this proposal?

I understand the constituency commission which deals with Dáil and European election constituency boundaries is due to report to the Ceann Comhairle before the end of this month. When does he expect to receive that report?
