The minute the Deputy quoted from is correct and work was done following the meeting that we had where we agreed in principle that a commission of investigation should be set up into Project Eagle. Obviously, that work remains, but before that is completed and finalised, and as the Committee of Public Accounts had carried out extensive discussions and hearings, we thought it appropriate to wait until it produced a report to see if some of the findings from the Committee of Public Accounts should be fed into the commission of investigation's terms of reference.

In regard to the 2005 tribunal Bill, it has not made it back onto the Order Paper, the reason being that it is being looked at again. I am quite sure that the issues that Deputy Pearse Doherty raises - that his party has identified as being weaknesses in the structure - will also be taken into consideration there.
