The annual transition statement is supposed to be delivered to the House and we are due to discuss it, although I do not want to pin everything that is wrong on the Minister. When we put through the legislation in the last Dáil, and I was present for that, we put it through in good faith. We put a lot of faith in the fact we would have an annual transition statement and that this would be the mechanism of accountability to the Members of the Dáil. It is disappointing we do not have it here tonight.
