I wish to raise a point of order. Before the Taoiseach announces the Order of Business, will he take this opportunity to correct the record? Yesterday, in relation to questions about Mr. Justice Flood, he stated: "It is not a question of better answers, but of facts. Last summer Mr. Justice Flood asked for the appointment of two additional judges". I do not doubt that someone in his office will have drawn to the Taoiseach's attention that this statement was incorrect and he may wish to correct the record. Mr. Justice Flood actually stated:
The Tribunal is desirous that paragraph 3 of the Instrument be amended by providing for the nomination of two further persons to be Members of the Tribunal to the intent that the Tribunal shall cease to be a Tribunal comprising of a Sole Member and shall become a three Member Tribunal under the Chairmanship of Mr. Justice Feargus Flood and further by the nomination of a further person to sit with the Tribunal to hear evidence with a view to such person being available to become a Member of the Tribunal in the event that any existing Member of the Tribunal, for any reason, is unable to continue to act.
