He is not discharging his duties. Will the Minister sack Tony O'Brien? How many more scandals must he be involved in? He is going off in July with his big pension. He has a track record with the family planning agencies where there was no investigation into the blackguarding that went on there. He got a green card to go forward. The Minister wants to go out and canvass with Mr. Colm O'Gorman when he owes money to the State. He refuses to give back money. He is a law-breaker. It is okay for the Minister to go with him. I say to the Minister, as Cromwell said, to hell or to Connacht with the Minister because the people will do it anyway. Will the Minister sack him and will he go with him?
