Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have only got Thursday and Friday. I want to publish it in good time. I have to get authorisation that it does not conflict with any existing court cases. I hope to publish the interim report by Mr. Justice Fennelly on the question of the telephone calls to Garda stations today.

In respect of Northern Ireland I compliment the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Charles Flanagan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Sean Sherlock, on behalf of the Government and, indeed, all the members who contributed to more than ten weeks debate in respect of the Northern Ireland Stormont House agreement. I welcome the fact that a conclusion was reached and that an agreement on a whole range of issues has been put together. We will have a debate on this next Wednesday in the Dáil and we can set out the terms for all Members.

In regard to the question of rents which the Deputy raised, the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is currently going through Committee Stage in the Seanad. Amendments will be tabled in the Seanad in respect of the decisions made by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Minister for Finance and the Bill will come back to the Dáil in the last week in November.
