Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

He has enough problems there. A Tipperary man ran that company well. There were no complaints when he was running it well. His money is tied up in NAMA so he cannot do anything about it.

To get back to what I was saying, untruths were peddled and voted for. I am delighted Deputy Catherine Murphy tapped me on the shoulder and said we would go to the Ceann Comhairle with this because the House was completely misled. Outside the House, the Minister told me earlier he did not know about this. I am not accusing the Minister of anything as we had our discussion in good faith over a cup of coffee. The House was grossly misled and the issue will be raised by the Ceann Comhairle. It is a farce that it costs €90,000 for this House to sit and where is the Government?
