I wish to raise with the Taoiseach the issue of the four outstanding reports from the Constitutional Convention. I was privileged to be a delegate to that convention and while one could not but be impressed by the superb nature of the organisation of all of it, one was particularly impressed by the commitment of the 66 citizens. Everyone who participated did so on the basis of a timescale the Taoiseach and the Government had outlined. The Government devised and offered that timescale but sadly, none of the deadlines set by the Government in respect of that Constitutional Convention have been met and four reports remain outstanding. This is particularly problematic, not least for the citizen members. I understand the Taoiseach would wish that something be done about that. It has been discussed repeatedly at Whips' meetings and while the Government Whip is anxious to see it moving on, it appears that the Taoiseach's colleagues in government do not share his personal enthusiasm for the reports of the convention.
