I will not be resigning. If it is appropriate for me to criticise the actions of Deputy Micheál Martin on a given issue, I will not hesitate to do it. I did so in the banking inquiry, as Deputy Pearse Doherty and others will agree. On live television, I robustly questioned party colleagues who were also box office in my party. They would have respect at an Ard-Fheis but this is a long way away from Ard-Fheiseanna.

Anecdotal evidence suggests the Minister apologised to the Chairman yesterday and last night. If this is true, the committee should call for the Minister to repeat it in a public forum.
