Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Last week, Deputy Martin's phrase was that the Oireachtas was being subverted. We will deal with that when we come to a further question. Now, the Deputy maintains the Oireachtas is being marginalised. Today in the House of Commons, a committee is dealing with issues about phone hacking in News International because it is in a position to do that. The fact is that for 14 years nothing was done in this House about accountability in respect of Dáil committees.
