Mr. Ivan Yates:

The Deputy is taking a literal interpretation of a general point I was making, which was negative campaigning. That is the way I intended it. It was in a context of, as I have described, more colloquial language. It is different from broadcasting. I would not say something like that on a mainstream broadcast. The nature of podcasts is different. People tune in to "Path to Power" because there is something they will not hear on the Claire Byrne show or "The Pat Kenny Show". That is my starting point.
