Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

If the Taoiseach has not asked his colleagues about the specific point raised in the report regarding their individual and collective actions, people have a right to ask why. Fine Gael and its handlers appear to hope the story will get lost in the crush of events in the next week, but that will not happen. Does the Taoiseach accept that the findings of the Moriarty report are very serious with regard to Fine Gael's fund-raising practices and the link between those and a major Government decision?
