John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

——and the Ministers of State, Deputies Callely and Tim O'Malley. Did the Tánaiste try to dissuade Mr. Kelly from going elsewhere? While she may smile about the matter, she accepted it because she wants to accept the version given to us by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Martin. I ask the Tánaiste to admit this is the truth today, as we need to have clarity on this point. She rowed in behind Fianna Fáil on this matter as she has done on so many other occasions. I clearly recall her rowing in behind the former Minister, Mr. Ray Burke, saying that she had full confidence in him.
