Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

In light of the serious situation that has pertained for a considerable period, when the Taoiseach is ordering business will he allow time in the coming week to address these issues properly on the floor of the House? I ask him not to defer it all into the month of July, as seemed to be the sub-text of his answers yesterday. I am asking him to give that commitment.

On promised legislation, I note that on Monday the Minister of State with responsibility for children, Deputy Barry Andrews, indicated that legislation was not required to compel the release of the necessary information, including reports, to the inquiry team which has now been established concerning the deaths of children in the care of the State.
