Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Motion.

 

There is huge concern about costs as a result of Mr. Justice Flood's resignation. It is amazing that the Government will not bring forward legislation now to deal with this issue. It had six weeks to prepare such legislation because it knew for six weeks that this issue would arise. Given that it was pushing Bills through both Houses and guillotining them for the last few weeks, it could have been done. The lack of legislation creates an air of uncertainty which is unhelpful. People are concerned. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform could have prepared the necessary legislation within that six week period.
