Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I put it to the Taoiseach that we have not agreed to the arrangements for statements on the Moriarty tribunal report. Sufficient time has not been allocated to deal comprehensively with the statements and the questions that will follow. We also need clarification on who is to answer questions. Last week I asked the Taoiseach whether he would answer questions on this issue and whether other Members who were members of the Fine Gael-Labour Party Government that awarded the licence back in 1995 would also be available to answer questions. It is still unclear, based on the arrangements announced by the Taoiseach, how this will operate. Due to the additional time allocated to Deputy Lowry and the run-on of the sitting this evening, we will need more time, perhaps tomorrow, to facilitate comprehensive debate.
