Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

In conclusion, does the Taoiseach believe it is inappropriate for Ministers, senior representatives of his party, to involve themselves directly in those elections in the interests of one party? How does he believe that impacts on the opinion of his impartiality and objectivity in regard to engagement with other political parties now and in future, specifically Sinn Féin? Has there been a directive, either orally or in writing, to specific or all backbenchers of his party to make themselves available to assist the SDLP in the course of the election campaign that will come to a conclusion on 5 May?
