Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

On the same issue, as Deputy Howlin and former Deputy Jim Higgins were central to the business of the Morris tribunal being set up in the first instance and as the report on it will probably be debated here, at which time Deputy Howlin will have an opportunity to speak on it, and in view of the fact that our MEPs have been allowed to address the Seanad on other issues, when a motion on the Morris tribunal is debated in the Seanad, would it be possible for Mr. Jim Higgins, MEP, to speak on it, given that he was directly involved with Deputy Howlin in the receipt of information which led to the tribunal being set up?
