Denis Naughten (Roscommon-Galway, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I did not give any definitive view to Mr. Ó Neachtain. I made it quite clear to him that it was likely to go to phase two. That was my own opinion but I also made it crystal clear to him that I would be going on the advice that was provided by my officials. As I have said, the only new information that I gave him was that I would be taking the advice of my officials, and that is what I did.
