He went outside of the House to say that their accusations were wild and groundless and lacked evidence. I ask the Taoiseach to consider that if the whistleblowers in the Neary case had been treated in that manner what the outcome would have been. Has the Taoiseach spoken to the Minister for Justice and Equality about this matter? I know he finds it very difficult to unequivocally apologise to anyone, but in light of this report I ask the Taoiseach to ask him to apologise unequivocally for his misleading comments and for undermining the whistleblowers concerned. If he cannot apologise, will the Taoiseach apologise on behalf of the Government for the treatment meted out to these whistleblowers on this specific issue?
