Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

The following may not be silent in law. The Dublin Docklands Development Authority Bill is listed on the Order Paper. We have all read in recent times of the massive splurge of expenditure on travel and entertainment. There is precedence in this regard. The Ceann Comhairle's Office has been the subject of precedent in respect of this matter. The Director General of FÁS, an agency of the Tánaiste's Department, has been the subject of adjudication on these matters. When will the Taoiseach bring forth an amendment to the Dublin Docklands Development Authority Act to allow the Comptroller and Auditor General to deal with these matters as per the Bill on the Order Paper?
