Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If Deputy Martin makes the case, the Government is in no way defensive about this issue.

If there is something rotten, as the Deputy says, in the state of Denmark relative to this case, what he is saying is that the process by which this sale was completed was wrong, was not up to standard and was not in accordance with proper procedure. I am informed that the sale was conducted under proper conditions, that it was sold following an open process to the highest bidder for what it was worth.
