Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I have a question for the Leader. I would like the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform - and I mean "reform" - Deputy Brendan Howlin, to explain to me as a taxpayer, a citizen and a Member of the Oireachtas how he can decide that the Committee of Public Accounts, the main audit committee, should not oversee the banking inquiry. Furthermore, I would like the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, to come in here and explain to the House why he is the only Minister in the history of the State to invoke Standing Order 163(7)(a) to halt an investigation.
