Interdepartmental working group deadline
Dara Calleary seeks a firm deadline and a ministerial update on an interdepartmental working group; Brendan Howlin promises a report before the end of the month.
To return to the issue we just discussed, the danger of an interdepartmental working group is that it drags on and given the complexity of the work at hand, it may drag on beyond the recess. Will the Minister give a commitment that the Minister for Justice and Equality will come into the House within two weeks to give an update on the work of that group and on its findings and that the Cabinet will impose some sort of deadline on the group finishing its scoping work so that we can a full debate, perhaps before the end of this month?
Comment on this
I can give the Deputy and the House a commitment that a Minister will report on the situation before the end of the month.
