Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

With regard to the foreshore and marine area development Bill, the Tánaiste will remember the recent issue in his own constituency where it turned out we were dealing with legislation from 1933. The Tánaiste mentioned the final report from the Mahon tribunal but will it be up to this House to send the report, if necessary, to the Director of Public Prosecutions or the chairman of the Revenue Commissioners? Will that be a function of the House or will the Government take a role in it? Will the Tánaiste, as leader of the Labour Party, take a particular role in the decision of what is to be done with the findings from the Mahon tribunal? I know we have a few fragments of findings so far.
