Michael Fitzmaurice (Roscommon-Galway, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for selecting this Topical Issue matter. The appointments of people have been questionable. There are clear messages from the top to the middle and the bottom on what went on and there are transcripts. The Department has all of that in its possession. Allegations were made against the people at the bottom but the one thing the Government should do is appoint a retired High Court judge, an independent person, to look at this. From everything we have seen it stinks from the high heavens.
