In his previous question the Deputy said this was an attempt by the Minister to undermine Deputy Mick Wallace. I made the point that the information had been given as part of the general briefing about fixed penalty charges and that it was relevant to the argument being made by Deputy Wallace. In that context, the information made available by the Minister was important in pointing to the difference between what the Deputy was saying about fixed penalty charges and how discretion had been applied to him. I am glad that he cleared up that matter and said it had taken place.

The Minister for Justice and Equality will answer all questions in the House today and at the committee about the general briefing given about fixed penalty charges. It is outrageous that Deputy Micheál Martin makes a claim or insinuates here that the Minister is going around collecting files on individuals or Members of this House of all parties and none.
