Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

It is hard to believe that the Minister did not know about this and his interview on the matter on radio this morning was less than convincing. He should come before the House to explain his situation. A better solution than the Department merely investigating itself on this matter must be arranged because the facts must be established. The issue should be examined independently by a person who is not a member of the permanent Government club.
