Catherine Martin (Dublin Rathdown, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I think the Senator is putting words into my mouth. I did not use that language. I said I wanted to meet her the next day, and I had asked and written to her to meet her the next day. On "Prime Time", I suppose I had an opportunity to correct the record since the press conference on Monday, where I said there was no board approval whatsoever. I really believe that, as the focus over the last eight months has been about the need for facts, transparency and openness, I have to show leadership on that too. What was the alternative? Was it for me to conceal the facts on "Prime Time"?
