Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

If issues appeared in the newspapers that were relevant or had some implication for his Department when he was in positions in the lower Ministries, for example, as Minister for Labour or Minister for Finance, I am quite sure that the Secretary General would have said that the then Minister, Deputy Ahern, should be aware of this newspaper article and that he did not know whether it was real or relevant. The Minister would have been informed and I am quite sure that the Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey, was so informed.
