However, if Deputy Shatter is not going to be appointed as the specified Minister under section 3 of the Commissions of Investigation Act, then who is? If he is not going to be appointed, why does he remain as Minister for Justice and Equality when matters current to his Department are being investigated? This is a political smokescreen, so let us not have the Seanad involved in it. I am asking Members of the Labour Party, who I have respected over many years, to put their heads up and speak out. They should look at the truth of this and look at the political shenanigans that are going on at the moment. It is an absolute disgrace.

I propose an amendment to the Order of Business to call the Attorney General in to attend and be heard in the Seanad under Standing Order 56.
