Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Adams is looking for time to be set aside. As I said, there is a moving canvas here. We have set up a formal commission of investigation to be chaired by a Supreme Court justice, which will bring a sense of experience, integrity and credibility to that process. We need to finalise the terms of reference in a short time, in consultation with the Supreme Court justice. All of these matters of public interest, including recordings, tapings, retention, legality and all of that will be dealt with by that commission of investigation. Clearly, I am not going to change the Order of Business now. I have brought that to the attention of the House today, as I thought I should, because it came to our notice only this morning. It is an issue that, obviously, we will find a way of discussing, but not by changing the business here this evening.
