Michael Mulcahy (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

Whereas I accept what Deputy Costello says, I wish to put on the record of the House that nobody has ever complained to me in more than 20 years of public life in this city that they believe they had been hard done by with regard to an application to the Defence Forces. I am not saying it does not happen but I reiterate that no complaint has ever been made to me.

I am pleased to hear the Minister's reply. A valid point has been made about transparency.
