Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

-----the more I am reminded of a poem by Francis Duggan, "One Lie Leads To Another Lie So Happens To Be True", which goes:

When you tell one lie it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, oh brother

You're in trouble up to your ears.
