Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I do not have a timeframe. On the Monageer report, it was not a question of the Government being involved in censoring of information, but a question of legal issues which arose. Deputies Andrews and Harney are taking advice from the Attorney General on these with regard to what mechanism can be found to provide the information. Both Deputies have indicated their willingness to try and overcome the issue so as to enable the Oireachtas committee to be more fully informed of the issues currently redacted.

In response to Deputy McGrath, I hope Deputies will be given an opportunity to speak if they wish. I hope all parties will co-operate to ensure that some Independent voices can be heard on the issue.
