Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am glad that peace has broken out again. It is good to see calm restored to the Chamber. The Ceann Comhairle requested the Committee on Members' Interests to consider this today. Deputy Pringle is Chairman of that committee and I expect it will reach a decision quickly. The Government will respond to its decision. I have seen instances of this in the past and it is not for me make a comment that might be prejudicial to any consequent proceedings. I assure Deputy Higgins that the Government will make its decision clear following the committee's deliberations, which I understand will meet shortly. The Whips will meet after that and the Government will respond.
