Disclosures relating to the Mahon Tribunal: Statements
5:00 pm
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)
The Taoiseach was clearly wrong to accept the personal donation at the Manchester event when he was Minister for Finance. It would appear that most people believe he was not personally corrupt, unlike many within his party at the time. However, only the most naive believe he was not aware of what went on in the brown-envelope and blank-cheque culture of the Fianna Fáil leadership and among many of its elected members at that time.
