Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Some €120,000 of taxpayers' money has been paid to somebody who brought a case to the tribunal in the North — and there were two different people involved. With regard to the person who is creating the problem, why is he in the position he holds? He is being rewarded with bonuses, and a job, and yet it has so far cost the taxpayers of this country €120,000, with a case pending in the High Court in Belfast.

In the North there are standards. I want to know why action is not being taken against the CEO, as there is a problem.
