The difficulty with dealing with all of these ongoing controversies in the administration of justice is that every day brings a new revelation, such as the taping of prisoners' telephone calls and the latest twist last night in the penalty points debacle. However, there are other distractions. While I have no confidence in the Minister, Deputy Shatter, it was nauseating to listen to the former Fianna Fáil Minister, Deputy Willie O'Dea, pontificating last night in a highly vindictive, personalised and inappropriate way about the Minister. Fianna Fáil Members know as well as everyone else that this telephone tapping happened on their watch.
