Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It might be useful if the Taoiseach could indicate when he expects the Fennelly report might be published. The committee has met two times more than the other one with which we dealt and has also dealt with many scandalous issues that eroded public confidence in the administration of justice. I welcome the fact that the Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill is making its slow way through the two Houses. When does the Taoiseach expect the Garda authority to be operational? We have argued very strongly for an independent policing authority, and in particular we have concerns that there should be an independent criminal justice inspectorate as opposed to a Minister dealing with such issues. Given that we are out of time, perhaps the Taoiseach would give us some information on the two issues, particularly the first one. When does he expect the Fennelly report to be published?
