Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I say this as somebody who has repeatedly praised committees such as the Committee of Public Accounts. I have no difficulty with impartial and fair chairing of committees, which is what this House is about. I utterly refute the Deputy's comments in that regard. Notwithstanding his party's new commitment to reform of the Oireachtas, Fianna Fáil has in the past used the support it enjoyed to ensure there was no reform of democracy whatever.
