Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Has the Taoiseach received a note since yesterday on whether the current Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell or his predecessor, Deputy O'Donoghue, told an untruth to the House? Deputy McDowell said he had not received the Carty report, which got him off the hook in terms of the advice he gave Deputy O'Donoghue, and gave him justification to resist the inquiry. Deputy O'Donoghue unfortunately told Deputy Howlin a year earlier that he had received the Carty report. Has the Taoiseach established which of them was telling an untruth to this House?
