Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Motion.
It is not clear from what the Minister of State said this morning or from what the Minister for the Environment, Heritage, and Local Government, Deputy Cullen, said yesterday what legislation is contemplated. If the Minister of State has any information to that effect I would be interested to hear it. All of us know we cannot shell out millions of euro to known individuals who have delayed the tribunal and been shown to have engaged in corrupt practices. If so, we will make the whole tribunal a laughing stock. I am sure there are some who would like it to be made a laughing stock. I suggest it is in the long-term interest of all of us in this House to ensure that does not happen.
