Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

The question Deputy Martin asked was on the accountability of the Government to the Oireachtas and I have replied to that question. We have met Opposition Whips and come up with a number of reforms. I hope they will be introduced by the first sitting day in September. The package we will introduce will be meaningful for Members opposite as well as Members on this side of the House, as they will hold the Government to account and we will have more meaningful debate. Fianna Fáil failed on this, as during 14 years in Government it did not introduce one reform.
