I will read the reply from the beginning.
As I indicated to the Dáil on 18 February last, in reply to a question on my style of leadership, it is my intention to answer as many questions as are appropriate to me in this House.
In responding to parliamentary questions I will continue to be as open and transparent about the background and the reasons for my actions and decisions, giving as much information as possible, provided that adequate notice is given of the information required. However, certain sensitive areas of Government familiar to the Deputy will continue to require discretion to protect the national interest or prevent injustice to individuals. In these circumstances, I will try to ensure that party leaders or Members of the House who need to know will be told the background, confidentially, in so far as I am aware of it.
On 1 May last, the Government submitted proposals to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges for the reform of the procedures relating to parliamentary questions, including new arrangements for Taoiseach's Question Time. These proposals, along with proposals submitted by the other parties, are due to be considered by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges's working group on Dáil reform and it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on them at this time.
