Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue)

As I have already informed the Deputy in my response to Question No. 334 of 2 March, I will write to him and let him have information about advice given by Ministers of the Government under paragraph (b) of the statement of intent, when my Department's files are returned by the Moriarty tribunal.
