Yesterday, after ten weeks of very intense and difficult negotiations we had the Stormont agreement, A Fresh Start. It is not a perfect agreement but nonetheless it is progress and it provides an opportunity to stabilise the political institutions-----

I thank the Deputy.

Sorry, Ceann Comhairle.

Sorry, when you are ready.

Go raibh maith agat. Regrettably there was no deal on the issue of legacy. The British are excusing this because they say there is a national security issue, but there is no rationale for events that happened 40, 30 or 20 years ago.

This is the Order of Business. We cannot discuss Northern Ireland on the Order of Business. Some 12 minutes are used up already and a number of Deputies are offering. If it was a special debate that would be fine, but not on the Order of Business, please.

I am looking for a debate on this issue.

That is fine.

I am trying to persuade the Taoiseach of the importance of the issue.

I thank the Deputy.

Fair play to the Leader of Fianna Fáil who spoke for seven minutes.

The Deputy is not too far off that himself.

No, I am not.

This is not a contest between the Deputy and the Leader of the Opposition as to-----

Not at all.

This is the Order of Business and I ask the Deputy to respect the Chair. A number of other Deputies are offering. I ask the Deputy to sit down.

The leader of Fianna Fáil wins the long-windedness competition all the time. I am raising a very serious issue.

The Deputy has raised the issue.

The Ceann Comhairle has interrupted me a number of times. The fact is the British Government failed to honour its commitments under the original Stormont House agreement. That is a matter we need to ventilate and discuss here. I ask the Taoiseach if he will set time aside next week to debate the North following yesterday's agreement?

I thank the Deputy.

In respect of IBRC, the Oireachtas set up a commission of investigation. That is the responsibility of the sole member dealing with that issue. An interim report has been received. I happen to be the Minister in the Department who has received that report. That is my function to receive it. I hope to publish the interim report by Mr. Justice Cregan this week.

When this week?

We have only got Thursday and Friday. I want to publish it in good time. I have to get authorisation that it does not conflict with any existing court cases. I hope to publish the interim report by Mr. Justice Fennelly on the question of the telephone calls to Garda stations today.

In respect of Northern Ireland I compliment the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Charles Flanagan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Sean Sherlock, on behalf of the Government and, indeed, all the members who contributed to more than ten weeks debate in respect of the Northern Ireland Stormont House agreement. I welcome the fact that a conclusion was reached and that an agreement on a whole range of issues has been put together. We will have a debate on this next Wednesday in the Dáil and we can set out the terms for all Members.

In regard to the question of rents which the Deputy raised, the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is currently going through Committee Stage in the Seanad. Amendments will be tabled in the Seanad in respect of the decisions made by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Minister for Finance and the Bill will come back to the Dáil in the last week in November.
