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

I have already made it clear that if I am in a position to answer those questions that Sergeant McCabe posed then of course I will. They do go to the heart of what is going to be investigated by the tribunal. One question is "Who was the garda or gardaí who engaged in phone conversations with a HSE counsellor about the false rape allegation?" As the false rape allegation is central to the tribunal of inquiry, I must be careful about how I deal with the question, but that is not because I want to hide anything it is because I do not want to impugn the tribunal process in any way. If I am in a position to respond to those questions, I will.
