Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There is certainly no confusion between me and the Taoiseach. In fact, I welcome the opportunity to give an assurance on the record of the House. Yesterday, a letter of assurance issued from the Chief State Solicitor's office to Ms Morrissey's legal team. While I do not like discussing individuals and do not wish to cause them distress in any way, a legal assurance was given yesterday in a letter. I now give a political assurance, on the record of the House, to go alongside that. The award given by the High Court to Ms Morrissey will be honoured, irrespective of the outcome of an appeal.
