Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

When the Minister of State, Deputy Cuffe, was in Opposition he often raised this country's failure to comply with European Union judgments. I would have thought he would be very specific about what needs to be done for us to comply with the three rulings concerned. Even though the Green Party has been in government for the past three years we are still being hauled over the coals by the European Union for failing to comply with European Court of Justice rulings. In this country we still seem to battle out the EU on its decisions and we do not just comply with them. Does the Minister of State have specific plans to introduce legislation that will address the three cases to which he referred this year?
