Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Adams is well aware it is critical the Attorney General has all of the facts at her disposal. The real issue is this had to be brought to a head because the discovery process in the case mentioned in particular had to be dealt with this week. The determination of the discovery included a number of tapes which have been assessed and which have critical information on them arising from conversations. In the course of all of this process of discovery the trawl suddenly discovered the extent and range of tapes throughout the country, up to 2008 and beyond in the digital area.

Deputy Adams asked me why the Minister did not use his opportunity this morning to deal with the whistleblowers.
