Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Taoiseach. I am glad the Taoiseach put it officially on the record today what happened last week at the meeting because it is important that it is on the record that everybody knows.

The Taoiseach stated last week as well - it has been widely reported that the Taoiseach said he would address it but he has not in his response - that he had to talk to the Attorney General about it. What is the role of the Attorney General? I believe the Attorney General has no role and that will be a deflection.

The Taoiseach states that he will have a time-bound process with five to six weeks to respond. By my reckoning, that five to six weeks would be up on 14 July. Can the people of Donegal expect a response from the Taoiseach and the Government on 14 July that will address their concerns? That is vitally important and that is what people need to hear today from the Taoiseach.
