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

I do not know. I am pointing out to the Taoiseach that Deputy Lowry, in terms of how that article is couched and articulated, is saying he has access to the Minister because he is supporting the Government, that he is on the inside track while other Deputies are not.

In the context of the question tabled by Deputy Kelly, could the Taoiseach tell us whether he has done a deal with Deputy Lowry in return for his support for the Government and are the Ministers under some inside track? There are all sorts of rumours that a Lowry will be the next Fine Gael Deputy in Tipperary. It might not be the current Deputy. It is very interesting reading in terms of the language, content and the clear indication emanating from the entire article and the treatment of the story.
