Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Has the Tánaiste intervened in the extraordinary stories that are circulating regularly about what is going on in Bord na gCon? Every day there is a new piece of anonymous literature concerning matters that are allegedly taking place in that organisation. I have been in correspondence for more than a year with the Minister over his reappointment of a director who was disqualified from acting as a director of his own company for serious reasons. Despite this, the Minister reappointed him. I believe the Minister might have some contact with one of the trainers who is involved in the doping incident.
