Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Taoiseach appears to have a very interesting relationship with his lawyers. It appears from his presentation that it is a question of his legal team telling him what to do rather than him directing it, as would be the case with most clients.

I wish to correct him in respect of the cases brought by former Deputies Spring and MacGiolla and Deputy Rabbitte. In those cases, the issue was that the Deputies were supplied with information which formed the basis of statements they made in this House.
