Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am still unclear on the necessity for the Minister to resign or the reasons the report led to his resignation. Was the Taoiseach of the opinion that it made that a necessity? Can he outline to the House in any shape or detail what the report states? I take it that he is confirming that a separate commission of investigation to the one in relation to Garda taping will be established to deal with the very serious issues contained in the file I sent to him which had been forwarded by the whistleblower. The issues were grave. Can the Taoiseach indicate, in terms of his comment on the inadequacy of analysis, whether there is an implication in terms of the confidential recipient? Was this featured in terms of the issues which had not been dealt with adequately by the various agencies and, ultimately, the Minister? Can the Taoiseach shed any light on that aspect?
