Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I join with Senator O'Toole in seeking a debate in regard to the Mahon tribunal. The debate should not only comment on the report of the chairman; we should consider all of the tribunals. It is a sad reflection on this House that having established tribunals on a number of issues, they are now incurring extensive costs and providing entertainment for many radio programmes, which was not the initial intention. Important matters are being addressed and we need to consider on an all-party basis the terms of reference to ensure the costs are brought back into proportion and to allay widespread public disquiet.

A Chathaoirligh, you had reason yesterday to correct me with regard to a comment I made. I do not wish in any way to breach the rules of the Chair. Therefore, would be in order for me to ask if the printing presses have been decommissioned by the Labour Party yet?
