Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My point is that we should not try to turn this into a political campaign around who managed to get concessions and who did not. The truth is that most of those commitments had already been made. I gave a reassurance to Home Sweet Home that they would be implemented. That is the only point that I would like to make in terms of accuracy, as no written agreement was signed off on by both sides.
