——with lawyers earning amounts of money that are many multiples of the sums we are discussing. It is wrong that the tribunal should be taking up so much of the Taoiseach's time. There is no evidence whatsoever that the public has lost confidence in the Taoiseach. In my opinion, there has been no change in that regard since the election. If I might use a phrase that de Valera employed in respect of Roger Casement, the reputation of the Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern, is safe in the hearts of the Irish people.
