I assure Senator Mooney the motions will be debated in proper and due course.

There is no doubt about Deputy Shatter's reforming zeal, his commitment to equality and his immense law reform record but, equally, I wish the new Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Fitzgerald, and the new Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Charlie Flanagan, every success. The Taoiseach will take over the Department of Defence. I reiterate Senator Bacik's comments that the motions will be debated properly and thoroughly. Equally, the Guerin report, which is comprehensive, will be published tomorrow morning and it will be dealt with. The Cooke report and the other reports to which Senator Mooney referred will also be properly dealt with in due course.
