Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

Mr. Justice Hardiman stated:

An inquiry into these allegations which did not seek the evidence of the person who made them would be in clear dereliction of its duty. Indeed, if the tribunal cannot ascertain the identity of that person, and approach him, it is hard to know how they can conduct the portion of their inquiry referred to at sub-paragraph (h) of the resolution passed by both Houses at all.
