That is why I am raising these points. The code of conduct makes it clear that no decision regarding a private company is to be countenanced. Whatever the Taoiseach's difficulty with the fine line he describes, is there not a case to define exactly what no decision regarding a private company means? Is the action of the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, acceptable? If it is not, the code should be made more clear for the Minister of State who has an obvious difficulty with the fine line referred to by the Taoiseach.
