The Taoiseach does not appear to have reflected on any lesson that he could have learned from the Government's approach; therefore, there is no acknowledgement that the campaign crossed the line, at least on occasion, into politics. There has been no acknowledgment that things could have been done differently or better, which is worrying. The lessons the Taoiseach has highlighted involve no acknowledgment that the issue could have been handled much better and that things could have been done differently and perhaps avoided controversy.
