Special Ombudsman's Report: Statements

I ask him to look at the rest of the appendices, particularly section F, with regard to what he quoted. He also referred to advertising and claims the former Minister muddied the waters. The former Minister holds a particular view. Deputy Creed must recognise that people are entitled to hold a view and it does not have to be the same view as that of others. I hold the view that the advertising campaign was reasonable and well directed. I am not sure that if it was in all the daily newspapers, the family concerned or others who should have known about it would have had a better chance. I do not accept that is the case and I am entitled to hold that view. I am entitled to say it. A number of speakers have contended I am not entitled to have a view or to express it. That is a dangerous development.
