On promised legislation, the Tánaiste recently announced a package of measures to tackle white collar crime, but we first need to find out why the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement's handling of the Fitzpatrick trial was so shambolic. The Tánaiste has had a report on the matter for the past four and half months and received advice from the Attorney General. Why is she continuing to sit on the report? Can she give us a date for when she intends to make it publicly available?

Earlier this year a former Anglo Irish Bank chairman, Mr. Seán Fitzpatrick, was acquitted of all charges in a court case. The judge acquitted him because of the biased investigation conducted by the ODCE into the shredding of documents and the coaching of witnesses.

The Deputy is naming names.

As Chairman of the Joint Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, when can we expect the report to be brought before the committee? This issue has been ongoing for five months and we would like the report to be sent to the committee as soon as possible.

I am having discussions with the Attorney General on the report which raises complex legal issues. Therefore, I am not in a position to confirm when and if I will be in a position to publish it.

On a point of order, yesterday the Tánaiste stated in reply to a parliamentary question that she had received legal advice. She is now discussing the matter with her officials. Will she tell us when she will publish the report?

I am not in a position to say when I will publish it. I have received some legal advice from the Attorney General and will have further conversations with the Attorney General and my officials.

That is not good enough.

There is no provision for a debate on these matters.
