Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Second, he mentioned telling a Minister to make an appointment and, third, he said that a candidate had expressed an interest in being appointed. I have dealt with all of this and I have accepted responsibility. I have apologised for the entire process. I am going to fix that and oversee it.
