Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Perhaps they do, but I just have a feeling they do not. I take the point, however. I believe the important position of an usher in this House involves a security check. I believe all positions are important and should be checked. I shall make that suggestion.

On the other aspect, we have spoken about this before, but at no time did either the Attorney General or the Minister indicate that they had any knowledge or information to show that Brian Curtin was an unsuitable person. I have checked that since. While the Minister could recall who Brian Curtin was, neither he nor the Attorney General had information as to his unsuitability.
