Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I do not want to get into a procedural row, but this is a matter that is proper to the House and, with respect, appropriate to the Order of Business. The tribunal was established by the House and reports to it. There are rumours all over the place about what is or is not in the report and what the Government's reaction will be. Has the Government or any individual Minister received the report? Is it true that the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources issued a statement on Friday, which it subsequently withdrew, stating the Government had rejected the findings of a tribunal that has not yet reported to the House?
