I thought I heard the Taoiseach say that his object was to bring the parties to the Irish question around a table. Would he please identify for the House one single act which can be attributed to his Government during the time he has been Taoiseach which has been likely to make that day come any sooner? One single act.

I would have to take some considerable time to outline all that I have done in that context.

I am asking for only one, just one act.

Is the Taoiseach not going to answer that question?

I said that I would have to take a very considerable length of time to enumerate all the things I have done.

Just one.

One.

In fact, I have done far more practical and important things than the previous Government did.

One.

I am asking for just one.

In the national interests, would the Taoiseach reply?

Most of Deputy Kelly's contribution to this situation has been totally divisive.

Just one.

He cannot give one. He knows that he cannot.

Just one?

Snookered?

I could enumerate a considerable number of things which I have done and, if the Deputy will put down a question, I will give him the answer.

We have a large number of questions to deal with.

What are the Taoiseach's intentions with regard to the committee set up by the previous Attorney General whose charge it was to look at, among other things, the Constitution with a view to bringing the day of which the Taoiseach speaks closer? Does he intend to continue the existence of that committee?

I do not know of the existence of any such committee or the setting up of any such committee by the previous Government. As far as I am aware, a committee with that particular objective was not set up by the previous Government.

But the Taoiseach has already answered questions about this committee to which I have referred.

The committee to which Deputy Kelly refers was not set up by the previous Government.

The committee was set up to bring forward meaningful changes in the Constitution, among which would be ones which would help to bring that day of which the Taoiseach speaks nearer.

As far as I am aware, that was not one of the objectives of the committee.

This should be by the way of a question.

If the Deputy wishes to put down a question on the matter, I will answer it.

Would the Taoiseach please answer Question No. 7?
