Guerin report debate and implementation
Pearse Doherty asked whether the Government supported the Guerin report’s conclusions; the Taoiseach said its recommendations would be implemented and that debates would address the report and the commission’s terms of reference.
The Taoiseach has announced that there will be a debate next week on the Guerin report. Will this be a debate on a report the recommendations and conclusions of which are fully supported by the Government?
Comment on this
I have said the conclusions of the report will be implemented by the Government. The central conclusion is that a comprehensive commission of investigation be established. That recommendation will be followed through, as I have committed to. We have to reflect on the scale and structure of the terms of reference for the commission. We will have two debates, one on the terms of reference and one on the report.
