Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

He is the deputy leader of the Government. Does the Taoiseach consider it a minor offence? Is the Taoiseach prepared to say, on behalf of the Government, which, after all, is supposed to make collective decisions, that this was a wrong and inappropriate comment by the Tánaiste? Is he prepared to say, on behalf of the Government, that he is sorry for any offence caused to the Irish people by such a remark?
