They are not agreed.
Last week, the Taoiseach described the proposal for a question and answer session with the Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Deputy Niall Collins, as a "kangaroo court" and the Government voted to block it. The result was a deeply unsatisfactory statement by Deputy Collins last Thursday in which he failed to clearly state whether he knew that his wife had expressed interest in the land when he participated in the decision to put it up for sale. He referred to a number of offers received by the council. He mentioned three in particular but failed to note that two of those three offers actually came from his own wife. He did not disclose who the second proposed purchaser of the land was, with whom the council was dealing up until quite late in the process.
