I welcome the information the Leader gave to the House in respect of the debate on the Travers report being arranged for tomorrow. The report indicates that the Tánaiste was correct about the maladministration which existed in the Department for which she recently assumed responsibility. It also highlights the long-term, systemic corporate failure in that Department. In addition, it records that illegal practices took place and that the Secretary General, despite it having been agreed that he do so, failed to advise the Attorney General. Will the Leader, as the conduit between the House and the Government, provide an assurance in advance of tomorrow's welcome debate that none of the practices and procedures to which the report refers — which were so wrong and, in some instances, illegal — are in any way prevalent in other Departments?
