The terms of reference must be discussed by Cabinet. The potential timeframe involved will be dependent on the completion of the terms of reference and discussions with the person appointed to chair the commission. The commission will be obliged to carry out a great deal of work. The first action we must take is to draw up the terms of reference. I hope to bring the latter to the Dáil before the end of the current session and that the commission will be in a position to begin its work shortly thereafter.

The best way to approach take with regard to the code of conduct is to await and take cognisance of the response of the Garda Inspectorate to the matters that emerged in respect of gardaí in the Guerin report.

No doubt that is part of what the inspectorate is examining. Its report should be available to me later this year.
