The broad parameters of the comments that Deputy Daly made are well deserving of being aired. However, she referred specifically in her contribution to Vice Admiral Mark Mellett. I think most of us would regard him as a highly admirable leader of our Defence Forces. I am certain that there is no intention on the Deputy's part to attribute any malign intent to him in his role in this process.
