There is a donation of service and there is a commercial value to be placed on that. That is a matter that will be determined in time by the Standards in Public Office Commission. I hope it does its work expeditiously. I maintain it is a fiction that this donation of a service that has a commercial value, which is a donation, was given to Fine Gael Dublin Central, because that would potentially have implications for the second candidate's returns. That may need to be reviewed.

The Taoiseach said earlier he believes the Minister. He is entitled to say that. He is right to say people will make their own judgments later on today on the veracity of what the Minister says. In the interest of transparency and full disclosure, I ask the Minister, who I know values integrity in public life, to publish fully all his returns to SIPO – his amended returns for 2016 and those for 2020, including all the supporting documentation – to ensure full disclosure. I appreciate the Minister is not obliged to do so but believe it would be very helpful and in the public interest for him to do so.
