I am somewhat unclear. My question asked about the progress made on the legislation proposed on Cabinet confidentiality. The Taoiseach proposed that he would change the situation on Cabinet confidentiality. He was very critical of what he may have perceived to have been excessive Cabinet confidentiality up to now. However, he is not clearly saying here that he will bring forward legislation to change the status quo on Cabinet confidentiality. Following the commitment to bring in legislation on this, is legislation being prepared? Is the Government bringing forward legislative change on the issue of Cabinet confidentiality or, beyond that, is it contemplating change to the constitutional provision on Cabinet confidentiality?
