Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

The programme for Government made all sorts of commitments about transparency and accountability. I asked the Taoiseach a simple question. Will he open up the work of this council to the Parliament via parliamentary questions? It is his decision, his choice. I do not need any further recitation of the Constitution. I am well aware of it. The Taoiseach chooses to hide the economic work and move it to a Cabinet sub-committee on economic management and so forth. It is the Taoiseach's decision, not anyone else's. He should not keep mentioning ten years or the like. He made the choice and the promises.
