Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Independent)

Every week at the Whips' meeting I look for the McCarthy report to be on the agenda for debate. It is high time we had a comprehensive debate on it but this has not been acceded to yet. Unless we get a comprehensive statement from the Government and have a debate, there will be guesswork and reading between the lines, with people feeling concerned unnecessarily about some of the State assets. Will the Minister ensure this debate is facilitated by the Government?
