Question:237 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Taoiseach to outline the implications of “Stormontgate”. [1350/06]
View answerThe "Stormontgate" case, along with a number of other issues, contributed to the collapse of the power-sharing Executive in 2002. However, the primary focus of the Governments and parties must now be on the future and the priority of restoring the devolved institutions in 2006.
