Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Several complaints were made over the period. The Ministers have given chapter and verse. I will not discuss when it began. Deputy Rabbitte is aware that it continued for a long time. The 160 complaints which are now the subject of litigation and the Morris tribunal did not commence on a particular date, as the Deputy would like to put on the record. The point, however, is that this Government established the Morris tribunal.
