I am not happy with that reply. When I raised this in the Dáil last year the Department had to write to me afterwards because I made allegations that there were vehicles in Donegal that were not insured. The record of the Dáil should be corrected because the Department wrote to me to tell me that I was quite correct and that some vehicles were not insured at the time. You cannot believe anything that is coming out from that board and that is why an independent inquiry needs to be held on this immediately. An innocent family man gave loyal service to IFI and somebody came in and his brother was chairman of the board. Whatever differences there were, this is wrong and it has to be dealt with. An injustice has been done here and that injustice will have to be corrected. I will not be letting this go. I will be back here and I will be raising this on the Order of Business every single day in the new year. Something has to be done and maybe the Standards in Public Office Commission or some body like that should come in and independently investigate it.
