Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I will explain the reason to the Members opposite. Moreover, this is not a point being made by Fianna Fáil, because the Government has a problem in accepting independent reports. The Minister's criticism of the previous Government, to the effect that its members never attended European Union meetings and did not carry out their ministerial duties is a lie, which has been put paid to by an independent study. The University of Gothenburg carried out an analysis and I will give Members opposite the facts in this regard.
