Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

When responding to the first question, I did not wish to convey the impression that all the names had been put into a hat and a few main cases pulled out. Deputy Sargent will recall that we took some from the Nationalist side and some from the Unionist or loyalist side. In all we took a balanced selection of six cases, although we could have taken any number. The case about which Deputy Rabbitte spoke could also have been one. I have personally dealt with literally dozens in recent years.
