-----for us to be discussing an individual judicial appointment in this House.

With regard to Deputy Ryan's question as to who knew what, when, where and how, I again remind the House of Cabinet confidentiality. Even if they wished to do so, Cabinet Ministers are not at liberty to discuss what happens at Cabinet meetings or what happens when it comes to Government memos.
