Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will deal with that when I get to it.

The final proposed change to Standing Orders outlines how the gateway system will work. The committee proposing to conduct the inquiry will make a proposal to the CPP. The CPP will consider the proposal and make a recommendation. That report must be considered before any inquiry terms of reference are agreed.

An Oireachtas banking inquiry will, no doubt, be the first test of this new system. It is important for the Irish people to hear directly from those who made the decisions that brought about the economic collapse as to why they acted the way they did. An Oireachtas inquiry before Irish parliamentarians is the most appropriate system to achieve this. This is just the next step in an ongoing process of political reform designed to rebuild the public's confidence in our political structures.

When I refer to the "CPP" I refer to the Dáil CPP.
