Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am satisfied that the former Tánaiste had no hand, act or part in designing, guiding or devising any strategy against Sergeant McCabe at any juncture. These issues will now be the subject of considerable investigation and discourse at the tribunal. I look forward to the former Tánaiste being vindicated by the tribunal at the earliest opportunity.
