Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In respect of legislation with which the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, is dealing, has he made a decision in respect of the draft Bill to replace the foreshore licences which has been submitted by the Joint Committee on Climate Change and Energy Security?

I understand that due to a clerical error, barristers were given an extra €1 million in payment at the Moriarty tribunal. Under the legislation that determines these regulations, has the Government taken action to see that the money is recovered? As the Taoiseach is aware, if people have underpaid the Revenue Commissioners or an overpayment is made, they are very quick to make contact on the issue.
