Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

RTE: Governance Issues

9:30 am

Mr. David Nally:

On that particular "Claire Byrne Live" programme, which was another way of looking at the state of the country and the way our public services work, there was a very balanced discussion afterwards when Eamon Dunphy had one person on his side. There were two people across the table from him, the Minister of State at the Department of Finance. Deputy Simon Harris, and Danny McCoy, who got to make all the points they wanted to make in opposition to Eamon Dunphy. Many members of the audience took part over the course of the programme a great many different perspectives were heard on it. It was a very interesting and robust debate. Most of the commentary I read afterwards said that the Government representative on the night won the debate. The point was made on the programme about Eamon Dunphy having said he would vote for Sinn Féin. I do not believe anybody was trying to cover that up-----
