-----but the Taoiseach steadfastly refused to countenance that at the time. In many ways, it is questionable as to whether it was ever constitutional. In many ways, it was a kind of Cabinet cartel between the Tánaiste of the day, the then Minister, Deputy Howlin, the Minister, Deputy Noonan, and the Taoiseach. The rest of the Cabinet did not get to see much until it was afait accompli. It was an extraordinary way of doing business that essentially sidelined the Cabinet and one purpose it served was to shield from disclosure discussions on important matters of public interest. Given its disappearance, demise, or whatever, will the Taoiseach undertake to review its documentation? Will he agree to release to the public the documentation the EMC considered on subsequent budgets and so on?
