It is not. Let me call a spade a spade. The Taoiseach is creating the most dangerous precedent in the House that I have seen since becoming a Deputy. No Minister will be accountable to the Dáil if this is what the Taoiseach allows to happen. Who will be the next Minister with questions to answer and who is struggling on something? He or she will not want to appear before the Dáil and will not do so because the Taoiseach of the day decided that the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, should not appear before it. As I stated last week, all of the arguments that the Taoiseach has put forward are bogus. This will get sorted out one way or the other. We will get to the truth. There will be bigger issues for the Taoiseach than the Minister for Justice when we do. The Taoiseach has one chance left. He can grin and smile away-----
