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

I have answered questions, and I have answered them straight. I want to say, through the Chair if I may, that I have made it clear that it has all been laid out in terms of how the appointment was made. There was no horse trading involved. There was no involvement whatsoever in terms of judicial appointments, the formation of the Government or the programme for Government. Any assertion to the contrary is false.

The Deputy can make all the accusations he likes. Just because he makes them does not mean they are correct.
