Leaders' Questions
6:00 pm
Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)
In 1996, the Taoiseach, speaking after the McCracken tribunal report, said that the public is entitled to have absolute guarantee of the financial probity and integrity of their elected representatives, their officials, and above all their Ministers. They need to know that they are under financial obligations to nobody other than public lending institutions, except to the extent that they are publicly declared. Does the Taoiseach accept that he breached that standard which he set for politicians?
