We should not be here tonight. Merriongate from the very get-go was a problem of Fine Gael's making and it should have been for it to deal with, for it to determine the thresholds of ethics and for it to determine what level of sanction should apply. It is wrong that coalition partners, including my own party, are left to deal with this mess tonight, a full eight weeks after it first broke.
