Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader arrange at the earliest possible date for a substantive debate on the Comptroller and Auditor General's report of last week? Arising from his report there was much public discourse, and rightly so, and it will continue in terms of the church and State. The report indicated that in respect of many public projects currently under way and presumably being planned, there is an extraordinary overrun. Taxpayers are being ripped off on a daily basis as a result of overruns. We need to seriously examine that development. A substantive debate on this report would be helpful at the earliest possible date.

On a lighter note, in view of what is happening today in California, does the Leader believe that a recall in the Westmeath constituency would be helpful?
