Charles Flanagan (FG), Laois-Offaly

As we approach the summer recess, I wish to raise with the Taoiseach an issue concerning a former distinguished Member of this House, Mr. Alan Shatter. The Taoiseach will be aware of decisions of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal that stated categorically that Mr. Shatter was wronged and grievously so and was poorly treated in the context of his demise as a Minister and a Member of this House. This issue should be redressed and resolved. The discredited Guerin report is still an official record of the House. In the context of current matters, would the Taoiseach like to comment on how this redress might be put right?
