Will the Taoiseach explain why it is in the programme for Government that legislation relating to Cabinet confidentiality will be changed? It is in black and white and I have asked the Taoiseach about this before. Will he explain why he bothered putting this into the programme for Government at the outset? What was the objective and the intention behind its inclusion? Why did the Taoiseach feel it necessary to include it? In light of the Taoiseach's reply, will he formally remove this from the programme for Government? It is in the section dealing with political reform.
