He was never a director of elections for any Fine Gael candidate, however. I think I am still married to him.

A lot of press releases and documents have been made available to us but we have not yet got to page 158 of the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General. It is an extraordinary situation because the Comptroller and Auditor General has made no allegations and I agree with Deputy Cullinane that Mr. Soffe's opening statement was extraordinary. The language is pejorative, it is defensive and does not deal with the issues. It talks about apples and oranges and mentions "any reasonable observer" but the Comptroller and Auditor General is doing his job, with his team, as best he can. He made a number of observations and on the last occasion we met I asked if Mr. Soffe had read the document. I ask him again, did he read the 158 pages of the document?
