Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. Three weeks ago the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste held a press conference and issued a document mainly about implementing measures prepared by the last Government. It included almost none of the specific commitments the Taoiseach made in respect of the first 100 days in government, such as his personal diplomatic initiative or his ban on constituency work by Ministers.

The Taoiseach also stated on the "Late Late Show" that he had prepared report cards on all Ministers relating to the implementation of promises. When will we be allowed to see these report cards? Do these score cards exist? If they do, surely the Taoiseach is now in a position to publish them.

This is not a new policy of the Taoiseach. As long ago as 2007, he said he would resign if he did not implement everything he promised. He also said he would agree performance score cards with every Minister and that he would publish them.
