It should not do so. The Attorney General still has questions to answer. I previously stated I will raise the matter at every possible opportunity.

I did not interrupt the Senator.

Senator Ivana Bacik to continue, without interruption.

Senator Ivana Bacik's colleagues interrupted me. I am going to raise this matter every single day until the Attorney General comes before the House.

The Senator should allow Senator Ivana Bacik to proceed, without interruption.

Apart from anything else and as I pointed out last week, calling for the Attorney General to come before the House is an utterly futile exercise because she is subject to lawyer-client privilege.

She has not advised any Minister since last November.

However much I disagree with the Senator's silly gesture, at least I did not interrupt him when he was speaking.

So much for the Labour Party's transparency.

We now have a chorus among those opposite.

Senator Ivana Bacik to continue, without interruption.

Now that I have a moment of silence I welcome the terms of reference of the commission of investigation. It is also welcome that the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality's almost unanimous recommendation to the Government has been accepted and that the commission will investigate correspondence routes within the Department of Justice and Equality, particularly that taken by the letter sent by the former Garda Commissioner to the Department on 10 March. It is also welcome that it will investigate the events leading up to former Commissioner Callinan's departure. It is apt that those two issues, which the joint committee specifically requested should be investigated, have been brought within the commission's remit.

Senator Darragh O'Brien stated the commission of investigation would not be established for 12 months. If he examines the terms of reference-----

I do not know why the Senator is addressing her remarks to me. She has stated she does not want me to interrupt her, but she keeps asking me questions.

-----he will discover that it is to report to the Government no later than 31 December 2014. I think there is a misunderstanding on the Senator's part.

It is nine months then. That is okay. I will correct the record.
