Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Tánaiste has made his position on Mr. Flannery clear and we are of one mind on the issue. He must appear before the Committee of Public Accounts and has an absolute obligation to do so. Will the Tánaiste make that known to the Taoiseach and Cabinet colleagues, and if necessary will he make direct contact with Mr. Flannery? I hope that will not be necessary but if it is, given the seriousness of the issue and the track record of this organisation in disregarding any form of public accountability, neither the Taoiseach nor the Tánaiste should shy away from having that conversation in correspondence with Mr. Flannery.
