Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is over six months since party leaders convened in Government Buildings to discuss a commission of investigation into NAMA and the sale of Project Eagle. They reconvened at the start of October and we have had many attempts, if I may say so, to frustrate the setting up of that commission of investigation. Fianna Fáil said that all criminal investigations would have to conclude before such a commission could begin but thankfully, it has rowed back from that position. The latest position of the Government was that we should wait until the Committee of Public Accounts published its report. That report is now published and can be seen by all. Can we get a commitment from Government that there will be a reconvening of the party leaders to agree the terms of reference of the commission of investigation, which Sinn Féin submitted to Government, through that committee, six months ago?
