——and we need to have a clear strategy from Government that has the support of the Oireachtas before we head off on this journey of discovery. I have little confidence in it and that is an issue we can debate here. However, we cannot have the Minister proceeding in the way he proposes. I ask the Taoiseach to pin this down, once and for all. What is the legislative intention? How are we to set a framework so that this body answers to the Dáil and responds to the Dáil's approach on this issue and not to any other entity?
