Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

There certainly is a case being taken again with a lay litigant and it could be overturned. However, the Government should have left it alone. I do not blame the Minister personally but I blame the Government that made the decision. The Supreme Court was obliged to find that the Government erred, there was misinformation, the Government spent the money and misappropriated the money, which is outrageous. A total of €1.1 million out of the sum of €3 million that Members of this Oireachtas voted.
