There has been much talk in recent days about truth, transparency and the filling in of gaps in regard to the banking system in this country. Will the Taoiseach indicate, in this context, when the report on Irish Nationwide Building Society will be published? The Taoiseach has mentioned the many documents missing from his office, but this particular report has been in the Minister for Finance's office since 2009. The Government is suppressing the publication of information on how this institution, which cost the State the most relative to its size, was run by those at the top.

The deal announced by the Tánaiste in regard to the European Union's multi-annual financial framework, MFF, has run into serious difficulties. In fact, the second largest grouping in the European Parliament, which includes the Tánaiste's own MEPs, has unanimously rejected it. Will there be a statement regarding the consequences of this failure for the Irish Presidency? The Tánaiste has potentially jeopardised the delivery of a deal before the end of the Presidency.
