Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am replying to Deputy Adams. I am reminding him that in the case of the first Moriarty report into the activities of Mr. C. J. Haughey, published on 19 December 2006, there was no series of statements until 14 February 2007 and no questions were allowed. I have referred the second report, through the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, to the DPP and the Garda Commissioner. If they consider that action is appropriate then they are the competent authorities to follow suit. There will be a real debate here next week and there will be questions for the information of Deputy Adams. There might be some straying outside the remit of this where he might like to answer a few questions himself.

In so far as the activities of my party are concerned, it was the Rainbow Government that changed the legislation in respect of the contact between business and politics. As part of our programme for Government we intend to ban corporate donations completely, which the Fianna Fáil Party refused to do during its last three years in office.
