Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

On the Order of Business, I am asking the Taoiseach why he did not distribute the Minister's letter of resignation to the Dáil and why he did not tell us one of the reasons given for that resignation? The Minister said he wanted to avoid any controversy that might arise for the Government and create difficulties for Fine Gael or the Labour Party in the lead-in to the European and local government elections.
