Can the Taoiseach expand on his discussions with Prime Minister Cameron on the independent inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane? What was the British Government's response, is he genuinely pushing the matter and has he suggested any creative approach to breaking the logjam and implementing - this comes back to my point about marking the Good Friday Agreement and subsequent agreements - internationally binding agreements between the two Governments? It undermines the authority of agreements and confidence in the relationship between the Governments when aspects of the agreements are not followed through and developed.

There may be a desire on the part of the British Government to leave well alone because of the fear of what it could open up in terms of collusion with loyalist gangs and others at the time. In my view, however, the truth must come out as transparency is required for a better future.
