Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

On a point of order, I invite any journalist or independent person to observe the transcript of today's question and answer session to see if any Deputy here got a straight answer to any of our questions.

The Minister spoke for nearly one and a half minutes and he still has not answered the question put to him, as he has not in relation to the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004. Using his old skills as a solicitor, he got into spurious diversions to not answer the question that is being put to him. That is my point of order. For once, could the Minister answer a question that has been put to him, in this House or in one of these committees?
