I presume the Deputy is referring to the Government Procedures Instructions — copies of which were circulated to Ministers, Ministers of State Barrett and Rabbitte and the Attorney General at the first meeting of the Government on 15 December last.
The instructions were last revised in 1983. They are currently being updated to take account of changes in procedures in the interim. These include the proposals dealing with conflict of interest in the Ethics in Public Office Bill.
When the instructions have been updated following the enactment of this Bill, it is proposed to publish them, in line with the commitment given in the Government's Programme for Renewal.
