Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

I am aware that a former Government Minister has written a book and has written certain things. Unfortunately, I am restricted under section 59(2) of the Act, which states I cannot comment on the merits of Government policy or the merits of any policy objective of a Minister or Government. I might have my personal views but, unfortunately, as much as I would like to say it to the Deputy in public, I would be breaching the legislation if I did so and I am very conscious of not doing so.
