Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I inquired as to whether the leak came from officers on duty in the Garda press office on duty at the time of the tragedy or from any of the officers who attended at the scene and I received assurances that it did not. It came from what were referred to as "anonymous sources". If Deputy Higgins is asking me to condemn such sources, I would be obliged to do so every minute of my life. In this instance, the anonymous sources involved were extremely unhelpful to the O'Toole family and I condemn them. I reiterate that, as I understand it, the leak came from neither those who investigated at the scene of the accident nor from those on duty in the Garda press office when it occurred.
