Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

That is fine. I have no problem with order in the House and the ordering of its business, but the Government decides what business will be given to the Whip to be put on the Order Paper. Clearly, the Taoiseach has decided, for whatever reason, that he will not progress that Bill.

To say the review of the code of conduct for officeholders is awaiting the passage of legislation amounts to awaiting something the Government has no intention of progressing in the first place. Will the Taoiseach bring it in?
