On the outstanding reports of the Constitutional Convention, the House was told earlier this week that there would be an item to deal with this on the business for next week. In fact, the Whips have now been told that will not happen, albeit that the report on blasphemy is ready.

My real question is about the fact that the Government set a series of timeframes for the Constitutional Convention itself to do its work and the convention adhered to that timeframe. Other timeframes were set by the Government for the Government to consider the reports and to bring them before this House. None of the timescales set by the Government have been met. It would appear, from what we are being told at Whips meetings, that the delay is arising in Departments not feeding back the necessary responses to the reports.

Deputy Ó Fearghaíl will appreciate we cannot have a debate on this.

I do not want to. I just have a final point.

There is only a minute left.

That indicates that the Ministers in control of the various Departments do not attribute the same priority to the convention as the Government appeared to attribute to it when it was initiated.

As I understand it, there is a memorandum coming to Cabinet next week on this matter. As Deputy Ó Fearghaíl will appreciate, there have been a number of changes in terms of officeholders and the new Ministers have had to come to grips with their new Departments. I expect the memorandum will come before Cabinet next week and will come before the House at an appropriate time subsequently.
