Last Thursday, the Tánaiste said that one of the questions he wanted answered concerned the identity of the Manchester donors. Will the Taoiseach tell the Tánaiste and the House the identity of at least some of the people — or those he can remember — who gave him the money in Manchester?

In response to an earlier question, the Taoiseach said 35 people came forward over the weekend to say they met him in Manchester. Do I take it there are 35 people who think they gave him money in Manchester?

With regard to his earlier statement that he would not accept the Drumcondra money by way of a fundraiser or a donation and his insistence that he would only accept the money as a loan, why did he not apply the same strictures to the money he received in Manchester?

In response to an earlier question, he said there had not been any other fundraisers or political donations. Did he receive any other unsolicited payments of any kind when he was a Minister but while he was not being a Minister?
