The Moriarty and Mahon Tribunal Reports were discussed when they were brought to Government. Neither I nor my officials have attended any meetings recently regarding recommendations in the Moriarty and Mahon Tribunal Reports.

I am reviewing the detailed set of recommendations contained in the Mahon Tribunal Report related to ethics as well as those contained in the Moriarty Tribunal Report in order to formulate proposals for those recommendations falling to my Department to progress.

In that context, I will consider in consultation with the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government and the Attorney General what steps may be necessary in terms of root-and-branch reworking of the ethics framework.
