Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

In regard to the P. O'Neill statement and the point made Senator Minihan regarding reflection, I support Senator Brian Hayes's call to encourage the Government to reconvene the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation if it would help that period of reflection.

I presume the so-called Quigley report is available. A debate has been requested on the awarding of Government public relations contracts. Will it take place when we know what the Standards in Public Office Commission is going to do in this regard? Perhaps the Leader will comment on that issue.

Will the Leader inform the House whether the €50 million of public money spent on e-voting is now likely to be written off? Will she outline the Government's policy on the Hanly report and its possible implementation? Is the story we heard this morning that it has been permanently shelved true? I would appreciate if the Leader could give us some information on that or, if not, perhaps she could arrange for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to come to the House to discuss the matter.
