Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source
We have established that it was somebody's job to manage the process. We see from Mr. Barrett's letter to Mr. Kelly he talks about the returns that are done every year. It was somebody's role in the Department to manage this to make sure they have the funds they need and everything is okay and working fine. This is not personal but it lacks credibility. It lacks credibility to say there was nobody in the Department who ever had any reason to question what was going on. It lacks credibility to the general public. It lacks credibility to us.
