The answer is No. The Minister did not brief me or inform me on that matter. I understand the Minister appeared on a television programme along with Deputy Wallace. The Minister made available information that was relevant to the case being made by Deputy Wallace in respect of discretion being used or not being used. During the debate I understand that Deputy Wallace could not recall that the incident had occurred. He clarified that fact the following day.

Deputy Halligan is correct that it is important for the Minister for Justice and Equality to attend the House this evening and he will answer any questions from Deputies.
