Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I wish to make the point that our guest has been invited to talk about his work on the peace process and the issues leading up to the Downing Street declaration and the Good Friday Agreement. He has already answered a question from Senator Currie about the matters Mr. Finucane is now raising. Sir John has made his point on that matter. Mr. Finucane is obviously entitled to say what he wishes, but I point out to Sir John that he has already given an answer. It is a matter for him to decide how to reply. The Chair is here to ensure that we concentrate on the issues the committee invited our guest to the meeting to address, which are his personal knowledge and work as Prime Minister.
