Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Am I to understand from the Taoiseach's reply that in both of the incidences I have highlighted, the Clerk of the Dáil is the appropriate officer to whom officeholders, Ministers and Ministers of State, make their respective declarations both in relation to gifts received and where there are material interests in connection with any given performance they are obliged to carry out? Is that record accessible to the public? Does it have to be accessed under the Freedom of Information Act or is it open to scrutiny? Are all these declarations open, public records?

Will he again note that my question is about whether the performance in relation to the existing code in any way urges or suggests that changes are required in terms of the code of conduct? Is the Taoiseach aware of anything regarding the performance under the existing code which may give rise, in his view, to a need for changes to the existing code?
