That is very unsatisfactory. How long will it take for the Government to review the overall performance of the commission? These vacancies have existed for some time. In relation to an article which appeared in The Sunday Tribune last Sunday, will the Taoiseach confirm or deny the report that a complaint has been lodged with the Attorney General to the effect that there seems to be some connection between a member of the staff of the commission and a secret religious organisation? What action does he propose to take if that is true?

That is a separate question.

It is relevant to the operation of the Law Reform Commission.

It may be, but it is not relevant to the question on the Order Paper.

Will the Taoiseach confirm or deny that report?

I am not aware of that report but I will look into the matter.

The Taoiseach is not aware of the report?

No, I try to read all the papers but I sometimes miss items.

Have representations been made to the Taoiseach that there may be a connection between staff in the commission and a secret religious organisation?

I am not aware of this.
