Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Deputy to please let me answer. It is my role, as the Minister for Justice, to make a recommendation. I made that recommendation to the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste, the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Attorney General. Deputy Kenny's colleague earlier mentioned the former Minister and Deputy, Dermot Ahern.

If the Deputy was to quote from his article this week, what he said was that not once did he ever bring more than one name or make more than one recommendation to the Taoiseach. In fact, he told them the night before.
