I have a question for the Leader of the House. We had a discussion on the Tribunals of Inquiry Bill which was restored to the Order Paper. The matter seemed to be urgent and there was some furore about it. What is the current status of the Bill and how is it planned to progress it?

In respect of the same subject, I draw the attention of the House to the significant new evidence which emerged at the Mahon tribunal over recent days. We have seen the evidence of Des Richardson and, in particular, Pádraic O'Connor, which is reported in all the media today and on news bulletins last night. In that regard, I am surprised RTE——
