Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I wish to deal with two factual points. First, I was not giving my view on the reports; I was quoting from the reports. In what I said about Portlaoise, I did not give the Deputy one line of any view I had. I was giving a report on what Mr. John Fitzgerald said and Ms Ann Doherty did. When the Deputy reads the reports, he will see that is precisely what I am saying.
