Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

There has been a cut of 14% in the Taoiseach's Department. What is the Taoiseach's view on the future of the National Forum on Europe, the allocation of which has been cut by 42%? Is it in suspension, or does the Taoiseach see it having a role to play in the future programme for the next Lisbon referendum? Does the Taoiseach envisage a change in the role and status of the forum?

In respect of the Moriarty tribunal, Mr. Justice Moriarty can only write the report based on what he has heard. Does the Taoiseach have information as to the provision for lawyers to write up other sections of the report? Is that work continuing, pending the possibility of further public hearings?

What is the organisational review programme for which €686,000 has been provided this year, and what is that programme supposed to do?
