Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

First of all, the Tánaiste rang me on Saturday morning on this issue when the article had been published by Villagemagazine. On the issue around when he first found out, obviously there was a Cabinet meeting, as I said, which approved this matter. The Tánaiste is going to address all those issues but my understanding is that he would have got the document from the Department of Health. That is a matter for the Tánaiste and he will deal with all those questions. That is why he is coming into the House in the first instance.

I was not a member of the previous Government.
