I ask the Taoiseach to outline the timeframe in that regard.

On the Oireachtas inquiry Bill, the banking inquiry committee members were expected to have their preliminary meeting tomorrow, but it has now been deferred. What exactly is the cause of the delay in the banking inquiry committee starting its work? We are aware that the Seanad selection committee selected the Seanad nominees last week. There has been no formal referral by anybody to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges of a Member of either the Seanad or the Dáil. We need an explanation from the Government as to why there is a delay in the commencement of the work of the banking inquiry committee.

I ask the Taoiseach to update us on the status of the regulation of lobbying Bill and explain the delay with regard to that legislation.
