-----and the democratic revolution he promised is like universal health insurance, another illusion and denial of the truth.

The second issue I wish to raise concerns the announcement the Taoiseach made to the House last week on the inquiry into Siteserv, the activities of IBRC and the disposal of assets. Some 11 questions I have submitted on the subject have been ruled out of order. They relate to when the Minister for Finance became aware of issues to do with the inquiry, when the Taoiseach or his Department became aware or were informed of possible delays and if, to his knowledge, there had been objections to information being released. Six or seven of the questions I have submitted relate to the Taoiseach's responsibilities. Incredibly, I have been told by the Ceann Comhairle that the Taoiseach has no official responsibility to Dáil Éireann in these matters, that they are matters for IBRC which is independent in the performance of its functions. I have also been told that the Minister for Finance has no official responsibility to Dáil Éireann in these matters, that they are matters for the commission which is independent in the performance of its functions. I contest this decision and will write to the Office of the Ceann Comhairle about the issue because I do not understand how a simple question about when the Minister for Finance or the Taoiseach became aware of something is not a legitimate one to ask of them. The Taoiseach made a commitment to the House that in the ordering of its business there would be provision for a debate on this issue and that he would consult-----

I am sorry, but we are six minutes into the Order of Business already.

As I am entitled to ask a question on the Order of Business about the scheduling of business, please do not interrupt me when I am in order. The Taoiseach said he would consult leaders and that there would be a debate. When is that debate going to take place and when will provision be made on the Order Paper to enable it to happen?

We were told there was to be inclusion of €600 million in a Supplementary Estimate for the Department of Health, but we have now been told that that may not be the final figure. It could be higher, which shows how dishonest that budget figure was. The final figure will need to reflect the outcome of the latest review of the HSE. When can we expect the Minister for Health to present the Supplementary Estimate to the Dáil?

I made it clear to the Whip that if it was the wish of Opposition parties, I had no objection to taking Leaders' Questions yesterday. However, it was felt that, given the atrocity in Paris and the requirement for a particular environment here, the arrangements should be as they were. That request came from a number of Opposition Members. It was not a direction from me that the schedule be as it was.

It was. An e-mail was issued stating the Government had decided on the schedule for the day.

When the schedule was issued on Monday, no Member from any Opposition party responded to suggest it should be otherwise. Clearly, I would have been quite willing to deal with other business.

I have already answered questions about Siteserv and when the matter came to the notice of the Department, but I do not know what questions Deputy Micheál Martin has submitted as I have not seen them. I happen to be the receiving Minister and mine is the receiving Department for the interim report, on which I expect we will have a debate next week. I expect to publish the report this week. The Deputy will receive a copy of it and we will have a debate, as is appropriate, next week.

All of the Supplementary Estimates, with the exception of those for the Departments of Health and Social Protection, have been dealt with. They will be dealt with shortly.

The Taoiseach says he will publish the interim report of the commission of investigation this week. It would be useful to know when he is going to do so. Questions put by our finance spokesperson, Deputy Pearse Doherty, on the issue have also been disallowed and this is a matter we will raise with the Ceann Comhairle.

I am sorry to interrupt, but on the disallowance of questions, there is a procedure and system in place for questions that are referred to me for confirmation or rejection. This is done entirely in accordance with Standing Orders. There is a procedure in place and staff will be only too pleased to advise on what is and is not in order.
