What is the Taoiseach going to do about it?

I have just given the Deputy the position. The planning process in Northern Ireland is not our function. The Deputy will criticise, delay and delay-----

I am asking what the Taoiseach is going to do about it in this State.

The Deputy is trying to criticise a colleague of his party in the Executive-----

The Taoiseach is the Head of the Government.

-----yet his party is part of that Executive.

What is the Taoiseach's position today?

I call Deputy Durkan.

A Cheann Comhairle, the Taoiseach purposely refused to answer the question. It undermines the legitimacy of promised legislation. That is disappointing.

Thank you. I call Deputy Durkan.

What is the position with the Charities Act 2009 in respect of all sections and its applicability? Has it been fully endorsed and is it fully operational at present? Are there some outstanding amendments or changes?

It is not on the programme for this session, but the heads are still being prepared.
