Returning to Mr. Yates's "smear the bejaysus" comment he himself brought up there, can he expand on that, where it came from or where his train of thought was in that moment? Did Mr. Yates suggest it as a tactic because it was a tactic he suggested to the Fianna Fáil candidate and perhaps Fianna Fáil Ministers that he was training at the time?
