NAMA is not actually accountable to the Committee of Public Accounts. That is the Taoiseach's kick and that of his Government, particularly the Minister for Finance. Far from answering questions on NAMA generally and specifically on the controversy surrounding Project Eagle, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, has studiously avoided addressing the issue. Therefore, I want to ask when he will make a full statement to the Dáil and explain why a corrupted bidding practice was allowed to continue, why he failed to inform the Executive in the North and why he was happy to allow a process to continue which, in the final analysis-----

We cannot debate the issue on the Order of Business.

We know for the second time was also corrupted.

Second, on the issue I raised with the Taoiseach earlier, I want him to point me to the legislation, or promised legislation, in the programme for Government in which he proposes to remedy the flaws in the law that have left families in fire traps and with big demands of cash made on them. There are no mandatory inspections before fire safety certificates are granted for buildings such as Longboat Quay. He should point me to the legislation in which he proposes to sort that out for people so we will not return to scenarios like this time and again.

The Taoiseach will recall that in December 2014 a Sinn Féin motion on the recognition of the Palestinian State was passed by the Dáil unanimously on a cross-party basis. In light of the fact that today, after a ceremony in New York, the Palestinian flag will be raised for the first time at the UN buildings, when does the Taoiseach propose to move on that motion to give to the Palestinian State and its diplomatic representatives here in Dublin full recognition, full ambassadorial status and everything associated with it?

I happened to be in the UN buildings on Thursday and Friday last week and had the privilege of speaking there. I was aware of the Palestinian flag flying, reflecting Palestine's observer status, outside the UN buildings for the first time. I will consider the point the Deputy mentioned.

The Minister for Finance has been before the House and has answered questions on numerous occasions about the matter raised. Obviously, the company in question was dropped. Other interests were expressed and the process continued. As I stated, there are two ongoing investigations. They are not in this jurisdiction. The Minister has been quite open and up-front in that whatever assistance he can give in respect of those investigations will be made available.

Can he make a statement to the Dáil?

We have made the point that NAMA itself has been before the Committee of Public Accounts discussing these matters in some considerable detail. Its representatives will be appearing again tomorrow.

With regard to Longboat Quay, the Minister has moved to address this. Clearly, it is a matter for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, the receiver to the developer, the residents themselves and their management company, in addition to Dublin Fire Brigade, to resolve this collaboratively. I understand that all the authorities are trying to find a solution to this. In the interest of supporting owners and residents living in developments such as Longboat Quay where concerns are brought to light about non-compliance, particularly with fire regulations, the Minister has directed that a review be undertaken to develop a framework that will apply generally in future cases of this kind. That review will be undertaken by a steering group chaired by Mr. Martin Riordan, who was formerly manager of Cork County Council, and including representatives from Kildare County Council and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. The steering group will be assisted by an independent fire safety expert.
