Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I reiterate that I think the Tánaiste's response to the plight of Ibrahim Halawa is very worrying and will be disappointing for the family.

When might we see the publication of the report from the Fennelly commission? I ask her to confirm that it has been supplied today to interested parties and to give the House a sense of the timeline.

Sinn Féin and I have raised previously in the House serious allegations of corruption in planning matters in County Wicklow. The serious allegations include questionable zoning practices, one of which at least resulted in the loss of a significant number of jobs in Newtownmountkennedy. I know that three former Labour Party councillors brought these allegations of corruption to the Tánaiste's direct attention. I am sure she is also aware of a file that went missing from the office of her colleague, Deputy Alan Kelly, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, pertaining to allegations of corruption in planning in County Wicklow.

The files disappeared and then reappeared. We have raised these matters before but have never received any satisfactory or even coherent response to them.
