Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I restate that there was a heavy emphasis on spin, no matter what way one looks at it, in terms of the answer being given to the Minister if anyone were to ask a hard question. It is not credible that the Department knew of this but the Minister did not. This is a very serious case which involves a young woman with two small children who is gravely ill. It was known that it was going to hit the headlines. That is clear. In what format did the Minister receive this advice? Was it emailed to him or was a hard copy handed to him?
