Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I agree with Deputy Kenny and it is important the House has the opportunity to hear a statement from the resigned Minister of State and an opportunity to discuss some of the issues. It has been claimed by the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Tom Parlon, that the resignation of the Minister of State at the Department of Transport is the result of a political conspiracy. If this is so, does the Taoiseach accept the political conspiracy did not come from this side of the House?
