Taoiseach Brian Cowen has rejected any suggestions that the Attorney General is delaying the publication of the report into the Dublin Docklands Development Authority.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny asked Mr Cowen when the report would be published.
Mr Kenny also asked if the Attorney General needed more staff to deal with a backlog of legal issues and if this was the reason for the delay in publishing the DDDA report.
Labour leader Eamon Gilmore asked if the AG would be advised when an issue was politically troublesome for the Government.
He said this would compromise the independent role of the office in providing legal advice to the Government.
The Taoiseach said he rejected any question of the integrity of the AG's office being compromised.
