Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

Does the Ceann Comhairle agree that it is embarrassing for the Minister if there has to be a question? Will the Taoiseach not release the Attorney General's advice or opinion to the Opposition spokespersons who have been involved in the process for the first time as regards the selection of board members to any State authority and, as such, are part of this process? If and when the Taoiseach gets it will he please release it to us so that we may at least try to take some control of the situation? Four people, in the case of those Deputy McManus and I have been involved in selecting, have been appointed to a board, but now find themselves in limbo.
