Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

-----about an interview I gave, knowing that the newspaper and journalist had a tape recording of the interview?

The settlement we mutually agreed was brought before the High Court on 21 December and was read out in full before the open court. The judge was satisfied that the settlement laid before the court resolved the matter and that as there were no outstanding issues, the proceedings were closed. To attempt to re-open a matter that has been resolved and finalised before the High Court for political advantage while professing respect for the integrity of the courts is hypocritical to put it at its mildest.
