Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----when the Bills have been drafted. Work is proceeding in the Department of Justice and Equality on the question of the referendum on judicial pay and in the Office of the Attorney General in respect of whistleblowers and the Abbeylara judgment. Moreover, the latter two questions are being asked deliberately of the people to give the Oireachtas the power to be accountable and to hold people responsible for their actions. There have been so many tribunals over the years and had compulsory powers of attendance been in place and had the question regarding the Abbeylara judgment been dealt with properly, many of them may not have been necessary at all.
