I thank the Taoiseach for appearing before the select committee. I will focus on the strategic communications unit and make no apologies for doing so. I know that the Taoiseach has been quick on a number of occasions to say the Opposition should not focus on it, but I think there is significant public interest in what I see as public money being used for political purposes. As far as I understand it, the Taoiseach will not appear before the Committee of Public Accounts. Therefore, this is the opportunity we have to question him about it.
