Prior to the summer recess I introduced a Bill to amend the powers and remit of the Committee of Public Accounts. In view of the fact that it has become a matter of greater controversy and that we are getting legal advice which is unwelcome and in conflict with other legal advice, I ask the Taoiseach to provide time for that Bill so that the members of the committee who are worried that our powers are being curtailed by political direction can rest assured this is not true.
