It is not confirmed in the Estimates whether it will continue to be in Vote subhead A5, which concerns commissions of investigation and which is where one would expect it to be. I confirm this to the Deputy and the position regarding the estimate of €10 million to cover the investigation into NAMA.

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (16 Feb 2017) Enda Kenny: I do not accept that. I have an agreement with the British Prime Minister that there would be no return to the borders of the past, that is, customs posts along the Border. I have seen the reports from customs consultants and those who work in customs in different locations around the world discussing how one might deal with the borders. We have an invisible Border, as the Deputy well...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (16 Feb 2017) Enda Kenny: This is a good idea, and I am certainly open to it. A number of matters about it would need to be considered. It was considered by the Law Reform Commission back in 2005 in its report on public inquiries, including tribunals of inquiry. The report pointed out a number of advantages of a permanent inquiries office such as that suggested by Deputy D'Arcy including that over time, its staff...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (16 Feb 2017) Enda Kenny: I would not object to that. Obviously, when people feel aggrieved about an issue, and there are mountains of correspondence about some of these issues dating back to 30 or 40 years ago, and if after a long protracted engagement either a commission of investigation or an inquiry is set up, it may lead to people saying: "If I am to follow this through to the end I need to follow a particular...

After we held the EU Presidency in 2013 some changes were made to move some of those personnel back to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, where there is an EU division again. It has recruited a small number of select staff from outside. There are 31 in the division now. Work on...

Obviously, we have lost €500 million in value terms because of the change in sterling. There are a number of options. For example, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine introduced a long-term, low interest loan for agri-business. The Government's preparation has been extensive. It includes...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (16 Feb 2017) Enda Kenny: The original idea was to give an understanding of where the flag came from, what it stands for, the difference between the orange and the green and what the colours symbolise. Defence Forces personnel presented a proper flag to every school, all 3,500 of them. Many of the flags the Deputy mentioned are outside commercial premises and are left up day and night. There is obviously a protocol...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (16 Feb 2017) Enda Kenny: The north inner city in Dublin is a very historic area with particular landmarks. It is fundamentally iconic and has an historic part to play in Dublin. Unfortunately, it has been a location of multiple murders by gangland crime. As a consequence, the drugs issue, the deprivation issue, the neglect issue, the mental health issue and the complex issue of proper educational facilities have...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (16 Feb 2017) Enda Kenny: Yes. An amendment was made this morning that provides that where the sole member feels that other relevant persons might be called in respect of evidence or comments they made about contact that might be germane to the terms of reference, they would be facilitated. In other words, if somebody was to stand up in the Dáil and say that he or she feels able to give evidence in the House...

I understand very well the exceptional family pressure to have the matter resolved. We have been in contact about the work that has been going on for quite some time in respect of the GSOC claim and assessment. It has not moved a lot from the time I met with the O'Farrell family. However, I...

The position of some retired members such as those who served in Jadotville was dealt with after so many years. There was great appreciation of and excitement among those members who were still around or their relations at what happened and the recognition given. Does the Chairman have any idea of the numbers involved?
