Commission terms of reference amendment
Mick Wallace asked about an amendment proposed by him and Clare Daly to the commission’s terms of reference. The Taoiseach said the Government had adopted terms reflecting the Guerin recommendations.
We have heard a lot of late about Deputy Shatter's efforts to influence the terms of reference for the commission of investigation. Deputy Clare Daly and I tried to influence those terms of reference in regular fashion by way of tabling an amendment. What is the position in relation to that amendment at this stage?
