Minister of State's personal statement

Summary

Deputy Kenny seeks a later debate on the Minister of State’s forthcoming statement, while the Ceann Comhairle asks him not to develop the matter prematurely.

The House is now faced with what appears to be another political problem. I am prepared to wait until the Minister of State, Deputy Trevor Sargent, makes his statement to the House. Arising from that, there may well be questions for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Taoiseach. I would like that we would have the opportunity to discuss that.

I would prefer if Deputy Kenny did not raise this. As he knows, there will be a personal statement by the Minister of State later and it would be preferable not to develop the debate on this issue at this point.

I said I was prepared to wait to listen to the statement of the Minister of State.

Questions have been disallowed. However, I do not want to get into the same trouble I did last week.
