There is no doubt that the Supreme Court judgment is a serious rebuke and there was procrastination. I compliment the President on referring the matter to the court. There was a carry on regardless attitude in spite of legal advice questioning the approach and gross mismanagement resulted. I support the call for the Tánaiste to come to the House for a debate on this matter.

We heard this morning that the Minister for Transport is at last threatening to bring a report to Government on the second terminal at Dublin Airport. If that procrastination is at an end, what about the procrastination on the Great Southern Hotels group? Is there any direction or are matters falling back into line with the Taoiseach's stated view that it will remain in State ownership?
