I would like to raise two matters with the Taoiseach, the first of which relates to the Diseases of Animals Act 1966 and sections 10 and 12 of a further Act that was passed in 1993.

Under that legislation, will the Taoiseach deal with the comments of Judge Reynolds on the special investigations unit and the person who supervises that unit? When she appeared in court during the week she requested that the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine should take on board her comments and investigate the activities of that unit given the type of evidence given in that court case. An internal investigation-----

That is not really a matter for the Order of Business.

I am asking if the Taoiseach will make time available to debate this because an internal investigation is not good enough. I am aware that there are files with a superintendent and a detective regarding this case.

I thank the Deputy.

Criminal issues may be involved.

I thank the Deputy.

The people who are being dealt with by that unit have been bullied and harassed. A handicapped child was bullied and harassed by the unit.

The Deputy might not have heard me, but it is not a matter for the Order of Business.

Under the two Acts mentioned will the Taoiseach outline to me where those powers are-----

There are other ways of raising this matter, but not on the Order of Business.
