3:00 pm
Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)
I have a difficulty. In its wisdom, the House decided that incidents like this should be referred to the Standards in Public Office Commission. In the good old days the Minister would be answerable to the House when the Opposition put down questions. However, all Members are entitled to defend themselves under the double jeopardy clause.
