The Taoiseach answered a number of questions from leaders this morning relating to rather disquieting revelations in respect of funds in Templemore. During the Taoiseach's replies, he said that the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality would make herself available to answer questions. I do not agree with the Taoiseach's view that this should be left to a committee of the House alone. This is a matter for the full House because little is more important than public confidence in policing in this country.

Will the Taoiseach indicate whether the Tánaiste will make herself available this afternoon to make a statement and answer questions from Members on a matter of fundamental importance?
