Micheál Martin: I do not have the powers to appoint an independent investigator to a local authority. There are established structures, first of all, within local authorities to deal with this.

Micheál Martin: Again, the Deputy is interrupting. I made it very clear that it was absolutely unacceptable for any local authority to try to interfere or editorially control any radio station or any newspaper by dint of the fact that it invests in advertising.
