Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Is that the position of the Government? I understand from the Tánaiste's reply to me and Deputy Burton that the principal recommendations of the Standards in Public Office Commission of last July include that the commission would be empowered to initiate its own inquiries rather than having to wait for a complaint to be made before carrying out an investigation. Is that the position of the Government? Has it agreed to turn down the principal recommendations of the commission?
