Michael Collins (Cork South West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I will continue to call for an independent investigation into what happened in west Cork. I will not be happy until I get it. I want to deliver to west Cork the reason that the West Cork Development Partnership was taken off the pitch. No official, or the Minister, has yet explained that properly to me. There is something wrong and we need to get to the bottom of it. I am not happy about it. I am not here to challenge the Minister and I have no disrespect for the Minister whatsoever, but I have an issue with regard to the West Cork Development Partnership and why it was taken off the pitch. The Minister can talk about independent processes and all of that, but I asked a lot of questions that she has not answered yet. She says that she needs time, and I accept and respect that.
