Legislation on tribunal recommendations

Summary

Derek Nolan asks when legislation implementing the Moriarty and Mahon tribunal recommendations will be brought forward. The Taoiseach says no specific legislation has been promised but will arrange ministerial contact.

On promised legislation, the Moriarty and Mahon tribunal reports were presented to the House in the past 18 months and the Government promised legislation to implement their recommendations. Some of the legislation has been produced, for example, that dealing with political donations. However, has further legislation been promised? A commitment was given to the House that the recommendations made in both reports would be implemented and brought to the House for debate. Is further legislation required? If so, when will it be processed and what can we expect to see happen? Again, we see reports in the press that those who were the subject of the reports continue-----

I am sorry, but we have only one minute left. Has legislation been promised on this issue?

No, but the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government has a number of proposals in this regard. I will arrange for him to contact the Deputy directly.
