Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Motion.
I commend the motion in my name to the House. The matter has been handled excellently by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, the Taoiseach, and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. Above all, the name of Mr. Justice Feargus Flood will be forever linked with the opening up of society and political life, and the exposure of misdeeds, corruption, bribery, misrepresentation and all that was laid out in his report, which was a bestseller. It is hard for us to appreciate that a report from a tribunal could become a bestseller but we saw people lining up on a wet morning in the street to purchase it. Well done to him, and good luck to the new team.
