Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy says it is about child sexual abuse allegations but the protected disclosure in the terms of reference was to do with a smear campaign. When I say I had no information or briefing, I am not hiding behind any one file. The allegations are not in any file I hold, or in anything of which I was aware. Deputy Wallace asked me about An Garda Síochána but I have no information about that. The file to which I refer is the file which Deputy Zappone has, giving details of the counselling service and interactions relating to that.
